how do I match the next two characters?

Hi All, I want to match the next two character (don't care what they are) in the following I will use ?? for the next two character, but that doesn't work $x ~~ m/.*?(sd??).*/; I want $0 to include the "sd" and the next two characters, whatever they are. Many thanks, -T

Re: next

In this instance, it is the same as "$true_count = $true_count + 1". ++$var and $var++ differ if they are used in an assignment or other operation. For instance: my $x = 1; my $y = ++$x; # $x is incremented before assignment my $z = $x++; # $x is incremented after assignment At the end, $x =

Hi All, I am afraid I am not understanding "next" again. When you invoke it, does it pop you back at the start of the loop or just cough up the next value? Many thanks, -T -- ~~~ Serious error. All shortcuts have disappeared. Screen. Mind. Both are blank. ~~~

You do realize that `next` immediately stops the current iteration and goes onto the *next* one right? That is, there is no point putting any code after it because it will never be run. On Tue, May 23, 2017 at 11:30 PM, ToddAndMargo <toddandma...@zoho.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > I h
