I think i know what you are looking for.
If so, then there are 2 ways to do this.
First you need to match everything before what you are looking for, then
match your string, and then match everything after. Now, this will only
work if you know _exactly_ what you are looking for.
$your_string = "This is the pattern to match exactly";
my @matched_string = split(/(.*)?($your_string)(.*)?/,$entire_string);
You can also do
my (@matched_string) = ($entire_string =~ /(.*)?($your_string)(.*)?/);
Again, this is assuming that you know the exact string to split your
string with. I would use split in this case, it makes more sense to
follow in the future if you, or someone else, is trying to understand
what you are doing here.
