Hi William.
What you write depends on whether you want to /check/ the contents
of the data or simply extract the final word.
This program will extract the last complete word from any array of
strings, but won't check that the string started with
'The Wall will tell ME to update '
is this what you want?
HTH,
Rob
use strict;
use warnings;
my @array = (
'The Wall will tell ME to update AZID.',
'The Wall will tell ME to update IA.',
'The Wall will tell ME to update KSOK.',
'The Wall will tell ME to update MO.',
'The Wall will tell ME to update NVUT.',
'The Wall will tell ME to update OR.',
);
my @lastword = map /.*\b(\w+)/, @array;
print "$_\n" foreach @lastword;
OUTPUT
AZID
IA
KSOK
MO
NVUT
OR
