Re: Need help with a regex

The .*? expression is not matching anything. I think you want to use .+ perl6 -e 'my $x="\$1.23"; $x~~s/("\$") (.*?)/$0:$1:USD/; say $x;' $::USD1.23 perl6 -e 'my $x="\$1.23"; $x~~s/ \$(.+) /$0USD/; say $x' 1.23USD On Tue, 7 May 2019 at 13:10, ToddAndMargo via perl6-users < perl6-users@perl.org
