Here is the perl script being used.. It supposedly takes regex or perl expressions for parameters.. however I
have to search for the following string : TDS-RES.1.2345678 but when I use the following regex it fails: peg "TDS-RES/.1/.2345678" MEDLAB* peg: error in Perl expression: (TDS-RES\.1\.2345678) Backslash found where operator expected at (eval 1) line 1, near "RES\" Backslash found where operator expected at (eval 1) line 1, near ".1\" (Missing operator before \?) syntax error at (eval 1) line 1, near "RES\" You have mail in /usr/spool/mail/pegate what would be the appropriate Perl expression for this search?
