Have a small problem with the regular expression below.
In the line there's a There's a number of files in comma separated list.
I'm attempting to extract the name of the file that ends with 'local.xml'
i.e. in this case met_local.xml
The following ruby expression
/ (.*local.xml?)/.match('xpl.xml, demoUK.xml, met_local.xml, cfg.xml')[1]
returns
=> "demoUK.xml, met_local.xml"
What I need returned is simply "met_local.xml".
I was hoping the space at the start of the regexp would mean I'd only get
the value " met_local.xml" upon which I could
strip the trailing whitespace and leaved me with my file name.
I guess it's because the regexp is too greedy. Would anyone have any idea
how I could extract just the filename ending in local.xml ?
In the last fortnight there's been a serious increase in traffic on this
list.
Would that be because of the Google mention? Great stuff. Thoroughly
deserved.
Thanks,
Mark.
