Hello,
I am looking for help on a regex that examines strings such as
"xxxN yyyyyyy sssNNN"
"xxxN yyyNyyy sssNNNN"
"xxxN yyyNyyy ssssssN"
and returns only the sss part? N is always a numeral, and s is always
alphabetic.
Here is what I have so far as an example. I believe there is an eloquent way
to do this in a single regex.
my (
$string,
$prefix
);
$string = "MBH1 WELL PIT050";
($prefix) = $string =~ ???????????? # I want $prefix to equal PIT
Thank you.
