Question

I have a string:

set a "ODUCTP-1-1-1-2P1"
regexp {.*?\-(.*)} $a match sub

I expect the value of sub to be 1-1-1-2P1

But I’m getting empty string. Can any one tell me how to properly use the regex?

Answer 1

$str = "ODUCTP-1-1-1-2P1";
$str =~ s/^.*?-//;
print $str;

or:

$str =~ /^.*?-(.*)$/;
print $1;
