Re: Problems with formatting the results of my regex

in reply to Problems with formatting the results of my regex

OR you could use this, if you want:

  while(...){
    chomp;
    if (m{([[:digit:]].+?);.+?$tags[0].+?=.+?((-)?[[:digit:]].+?)$}s) 
+{
        printf "%s,%s\n", $1, $2;
    }
    ....
  }

UPDATE:

  why use '.*' after $2 i.e (\-?\d+.?\d*).*/. Your code will still hav
+e worked as (\-?\d+.?\d*) for your $2.
