It's a bit hard to understand your real question. But here's a go at it anyway.
If you want to grab the whole lines that have "Name:" in it: # Note the use of an array here. @out = `c:/tmp/test.cmd /i $c`; @names = grep( /Name:/, @out ); print for @names; If you want to get the names and values into a hash: # Note the use of an array here. @out = `c:/tmp/test.cmd /i $c`; for ( @out ) { $names{$1} = $2 if /(.*)\s+Name:\s*(.*)\s*/; } print "$_ => $names{$_}\n" for keys %names; Or you could do something with each line that had "Name:" in it: # Note the use of an array here. @out = `c:/tmp/test.cmd /i $c`; for ( @out ) { if ( ($key, $name) = /(.*)\s+Name:\s*(.*)\s*/ ) { print "$key : $name\n"; } } -- Mike Arms > -----Original Message----- > From: Sabherwal, Balvinder (MBS) > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 9:22 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Regex question > > > List, > > I need your help with the regex in my script. > > $out = `c:/tmp/test.cmd /i $c`; > > The above line gets the result in the variable and I'm trying > to match a > pattern as below and I want to store the lines in another > variable if the > matching pattern is found. > > ($name) = $out =~ m/Name\:/xo ; > > > The value I get in $name is 1.
