Hi! How can I make this Regex greedy? my ($seq) = ($var =~m/^(.*_{0,1}\d+)\s.*/); if $var is "ara_prot.tfa_3154 | AT1G26170.1 | no family", I want to cut after the first whitespace so that $seq becomes be "ara_prot.tfa_3154" and not "ara_prot.tfa_3154 | AT1G26170.1". I don't know where/ how to include the ? for non-greedy search. I would want to do it with round brackets, but that violates the round brackets I already use for getting a part of the string, no? Thanks for any suggestions! Esther.
$var =~ m/^(.+?)\s.*/; KISS! and no that's no kiss but "keep is stupid and simple" ;-) L. Esther-Kristin Lather wrote:

ou want this? my ($seq) = ($var =~m/^(.*_{0,1}\d+)\s.*?/); adding the '?' makes the * stop after the first time the regex was found Tine Op 16-apr-09, om 17:30 heeft Esther-Kristin Lather het volgende geschreven:

I'm not guessing, I looked it up ;) By default, a quantified subpattern is "greedy", that is, it will match as many times as possible (given a particular starting location) while still allowing the rest of the pattern to match. If you want it to match the minimum number of times possible, follow the quantifier with a "?". Note that the meanings don't change, just the "greediness": *? Match 0 or more times +? Match 1 or more times ?? Match 0 or 1 time {n}? Match exactly n times {n,}? Match at least n times {n,m}? Match at least n but not more than m times in a terminal do 'perldoc perlre' for full explanation :) -Kenny On Thu, 16 Apr 2009, lieven sterck wrote:

Hi!
How can I make this Regex greedy?
my ($seq) = ($var =~m/^(.*_{0,1}\d+)\s.*/);
if $var is "ara_prot.tfa_3154 | AT1G26170.1 | no family", I want to cut after the first whitespace so that $seq becomes be "ara_prot.tfa_3154" and not "ara_prot.tfa_3154 | AT1G26170.1".
I don't know where/ how to include the ? for non-greedy search. I would want to do it with round brackets, but that violates the round brackets I already use for getting a part of the string, no?
I don't really understand why you need a regex for this. Can't you split /\|/, $var; and afterwards check if the first part matches your regex?
Thanks for any suggestions! Esther. _______________________________________________ Binari Implicitly Neglects All Recursive Iterations https://maillist.psb.ugent.be/mailman/listinfo/binari
