these regexs below will pick up the name and dates (you'll need to put some
logic in with these too):
$_="name and date: Abate, Alfred 02.24.51 Date2: 09/21/00 blablabla";
/(\w*), (\w*)/;
print "name; $1 $2\n";
/(\d\d).(\d\d).(\d\d)/;
print "date: $1.$2.$3\n";
m#(\d\d)/(\d\d)/(\d\d)#;
print "date: $1/$2/$3\n";
/(\d\d)-(\d\d)-(\d\d)/;
print "date: $1-$2-$3\n";

Hi guys,
I really have problem with this regex.Here I have the string
containing two dates separated by either ' / ' or ' . ' or ' - '. I have to
retrieve both the dates and string which comes before the first date and
after it.
Input
name and date: Abate, Alfred 02.24.51 Date2: 09/21/00 blablabla
output
Name =Abate Alfred
Date=02.24.51
Date2=09/21/00
Thanks for the help
