Hi All, I have to match patterns of the format string1>string2 where the strings 1 & 2 can contain alphabets,numbers and spaces. The string are separated by '>' sign. I wrote the following code for this.
if(/([a-z]*[A-Z]*[0-9]*[\s]*)>([a-z]*[A-Z]*[\s]*[0-9]*)/g) { $string1 = $1; $string2 = $2; } This picks up only the first character in string 2 whereas I want everything till the end of the $_ to be in the string. $_ is terminated by \n. I cannot understand what I am missing in the regular expression.
