Hie there

once the perl script executed it runs as below

• 225000 ==> took 55 seconds
• 230000 ==> took 1 minutes 10 seconds
• 235000 ==> took 1 minutes 10 seconds
• 240000 ==> took 1 minutes
• 245000 ==> took 1 minutes 2 seconds

Than suddenly the script stop with the below error

Nested quantifiers in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^de.e++ <-- HERE [e-mail]$/ at ./crestbycountry.pl line 420.

Hope this info helps you

previously the suggestion/advice was to change (m/^de.e++ ) to (m/^de\+\+), is this valid?

i couldn't find any lines (m/^de.e++) in the code so how am i gonna change it to (m/^de\+\+)

can you please explain in details

Thanks to you
