I want to pick dates from a file, I did it the following way: ----- $day = "([12]?[0-9]|30|31)"; $weekday = "(Mon|Tue|Wed|Thu|Fri|Sat|Sun)"; $month = "([1-9]|10|11|12|Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec)"; $year = "(1999|2000|2001|2002)";
$query = "$month\/$day\/$year"; @q = "Today is Tue 9/17/2002 Tomorrow is 10/17/2002?" =~ /$query/g; print "q = " . Dumper(@q); ----- Now, the array q has 6 values - 9, 17, 2002, 10, 17, 2002. Instead I want two values only - "9/17/2002", "10/17/2002" do i need to rewrite my query? _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
