Re: Regex to match 20 chars of some digits followed by some spaces

[BrowserUk]

Here's my attempt which seems a little simpler than some of the others.

m[^ \d (?: (?<! \x20 ) \d | \x20 ){19} $]x

Which says that the entire string must constist of a digit followed by 19 ((digits not preceeded by spaces) or spaces).

print m[^ \d (?: (?<!\x20) \d | \x20 ){19} $]x 
    ? 'Yes:' . $_ 
    : ' No:' . $_ 
    for @t;
