|
You could do something like
if $pattern =~ (/(pattern to remove)\s(pattern to keep)/) {
print $2, "\n";}
In other words you isolate the different patterns in parenthesis.
You can use anything in those parenthises regexp or text. If the
pattern matches you can then print the pattern you want as a scalar
variable. Keep in mind you have to account for white spaces, etc if you
are using pattern matching.
But to answer your question, you may not be matching the pattern
exactly. The above might help you troubleshoot.
