There is a perl 5 compatible option you can pass to perl 6 regexps. Not sure its 100% and I think it's based on perl5.10 but it could be useful if you wanted to gradually port perl 5 to perl 6. S On Fri, 11 May 2018 at 05:49, ToddAndMargo wrote: > On 05/10/2018 09:26 PM,

Re: I need regex help

Pretty much what it's telling you. Instead of the numbers in braces, it's the ** operator with a range after it: \d ** 1..4 (Remember that spaces do nothing in a P6 regex, so you can use them for readability or to separate the range from what follows, etc.) On Thu, May 10, 2018 at 11:56 PM,
