Hi there,
is there any way to search for the following text? In some cases the
text that I am search could be
"one-two-three-"
or sometimes the text could be
"one-two-"

Hey folks,

To get the IOS version I use regular expressions.

/Version /;
$_ = $';

Hi all!
Could anyone give me a push in the right direction, please?
How do I write a regexp that matches double instances of letters (in a
file i read into a variable), e.g. aa LL pp etc. ?
Is there an easy way, or must I use
(aa|bb|cc|... and so on ) ?
Thanks for your time!

Oh, I see, it's a slow solution.
Substitute every (.+) with ([^\.]+) and the pattern matching will be
quite quicker.

You could do:

Kudos for working out the regex that works given your

Martin,
Let me take a crack at it, and explain it so that it might help some
beginners, too.
I wrote this code:
$text='supernova';
if ($text=~/.n+..?.?v*./) {
print "match.\n";
}
which just takes your regular expression and applies it. The if statement is
true, I ran it just to make sure.
