I'm not sure that I understand exactly what you're looking for, but does this do it?

Subject: How to say: match this..."UNTIL..." in RegExp
hi all!
thanks in advance, can anybody help me translate english to perl? :o)
i would like to write in perl language:
if (m/Blk\.*\s*\d{3}.*(?!E\d{3}-*\d{4})/i)
i want to tell Perl this in english:
" find Blk followed by a period or a space, followed by 3 digits, and followed by any
character or characters along the way UNTIL (then stop) you find an E with 3 digits
plus a - or w/o a - followed by 4 digits, then return the match.
but i still get return of everything. Perl seems to ignore my ?! negative look ahead.
is this because of the * i have? how do i solve this?
jimmy
