Hello All,
I'd like to know if a file name is like namefile.ext (only one dot in the name)
or namefile.xxx.zzzzz.ext (more than one dot in the name).
I tried with regex:
$file1='doctobepublish.new.pdf';
if ( $file1 =~ /\.{2,}/ ) { print "KO filename not properly formatted"; }
else { print "OK filename is good"; }
This doesn't work and the match is true only if the two dots are consecutive.
doctobepublish.new.pdf =~ /\.{2,}/ doesn't match
doctobepublish..new.pdf =~ /\.{2,}/ match
My idea, probably wrong, is that regex process scan all the string and try
to match all the possible so
doctobepublish.new.pdf =~ /\.{2,}/ should match
anotherdoctobepublish.pdf =~ /\.{2,}/ should not match
May anybody help me to solve the problem and to understand better how regex
works?
I've already read perlquik and perlre but some points are still foggy!
Thanks a lot
Marco Centemeri
