Hi All,
 
I have one string aic_8.0@/vobs/pvob_aic which is stored in one variable
$project
 
Now I need only that part of that string which is before @ so I have
written following regular expression to achieve this...
 
my ($pvob) = ($project =~ m{(.+)@}); and with the help of this reg. exp.
I am achieving the expected result as aic_8.0
 
but my doubt is that how Perl knows that it has to stop collecting all
the characters till @ character comes and don't include @ character in
output
 
Please help.
 
Regards
Irfan.
