I tried this and got the right result. my $line=<<SLEEPING; Sleeping for 20 second Sleeping for 10 second Sleeping for 50 second Sleeping for 40 second Sleeping for 30 second Sleeping for 20 second Sleeping for 10 second SLEEPING my @results = $line =~ m/(sleeping for 10)/gi; print 'Found ', scalar (@results), " occurences\n"; Could it be that in $line is only one line like the name suggests. For your expression you have to match with all lines in one variable. Best Wishes, Janek -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
