Matching substring

[m]

Hi All

I have a string :

invokeEvent('5_290_act', true)" class="button">Add</button>

I need to get 5_290_act into a variable, can you please tell me how to
construct regular expression for this.

Thanks
M

if (/invokeEvent\('(.*?)', true\)" class="button">Add</button>/) {
$var = $1;
}

I'll assume the string is in the $_ variable.

construct regular expression for this.

my($var) = /(\d\w+)/;

perl -Mstrict -wle'
my $string = qq{invokeEvent("5_290_act", true)"
class="button">Add</button>};
my ($variable) = $string =~ m/(5_290_act)/;
print $variable;
'
5_290_act
