Hello,

I wrote this little test script to my regular expressions:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

while(<STDIN>)
{
my($input) = $_;
chomp($input);

#my($input,$check) = $input =~ m/(.*\|)(.*)$/;

if ($input =~ "DONE")
        {
                exit;
        }

$input =~ /.*(\d+)/;


print "#################\n"; print "### OUTPUT IS ###\n"; print "#################\n"; print "### "; print $_; print "\n"; print "#################\n"; print "\n\n\n";

}


Michael.

Hello,

I am going to start playing around with perl regular expressions but first have some questions I am hoping someone on the list can answer ?

1. Can I test them from the command line ?

echo "some string of text" | perl place_regular_expression_here

2. How would I go about producing arguments are out put, for example:

echo "Memory Usage: 25% used warning 75%" | perl 'Memory.Usage:.\d+'

The about would produce "Memory Usage: 25" but I only want to output the 25 but I also need to make sure that the first part contains "Memory Usage:" ?

Thanks.

Michael.
