Hi All, I have a string which reads $str5 = " DL_FEM_ADJ1 = DL_FEM_LINE_FIRST, /* Keep the adjacent ones consecutive */";
Here i need to consider the variable and its value, ignoring the comment. I have a pattern which reads if($str5 =~ /\s*([A-Z_]+)\s=\s(\w+),*/) { print "$1 and $2\n"; } The above works, if the string is " DL_FEM_SCREEN_ADJ1 = DL_FEM_SCREEN_NO_SECOND_LINE_FIRST," (without the comments) I am unable to come up with a pattern which would ignore the comment and gives me the substrings which i want. I need to read DL_FEM_SCREEN_ADJ1 and DL_FEM_SCREEN_NO_SECOND_LINE_FIRST only. The input string can either occur with comments or without comments, since the input keeps changing. The input provided here is a sample input. Can anyone please guide me in this? Thanks and Regards, Dharshana
