Hi All,
As we all know Regular Expressions are very greedy and tries to big as big
as possible.
How do i limit a regular expression for example ion the follwing case
i try to find a specific directory called tmp_* in some paths which are like
this
/dir1/dir2/dir3/tmp_test1/dir4/dir5.../.../...
What are you trying to match? If it's just the dir name then:
/\/(tmp_\w)/ will do it and set $1 to equal your directory name.

"Zysman,
out
m|/(tmp_[^/]+)|;
which says, "match a /, the letters 'tmp_', then some stuff
which isn't a '/'."
