Hello MadYuv,
I'm sure there is a much cleaner way of writing the regular
expression. I am in the process of learning regular expression Perl
flavour myself.
Below is sample program I came up with below:
HTH,
Chris
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
while(<DATA>) {
chomp;
if($_ =~ m/(Test\s+\d\.\d\.\d)/){
print "$1\n";
}
}
__DATA__
Test 1.2.1
Test 1.2.1
Test 1.2.1
Test 1.2.1
Test 1
Test 1.2
***OUTPUT***
Test 1.2.1
Test 1.2.1
Test 1.2.1
Test 1.2.1
