Hey, I managed to find the answer alone, with this script : #!perl -l $,=';'; $_="-a-bbbb-cc---"; /(a+)-+(b+)-+(c+)-/; print "1234567890123"; print; print @+;
which outputs : 1234567890 -a-bbbb-cc--- 11;2;7;10 It certainly means that @+ contains the position of the last character of last match in the original string, followed by the positions of the last characters of the groups. Terrific ! Damn, I don't have time (nor talent and sufficient knowledge) to investigate the Perl source to find other vars like this one !! This could be a decisive advantage for future golf sessions !!! -- |3eno�t, self-made man
