Regex and multiples on same line

[Gary Mayor]

Hi,
Thanks for everyone in my earlier message. Now i've got a problem with
regex. I've got a file with lines like this,

CATETITLE1 CATETITLE2 CATETITLE3 CATETITLE4
CATETITLE5 CATETITLE6 CATETITLE7 CATETITLE8

while(<FILE>) {
if ($_=~ /CATETITLE/) {
$counter++;
}
}

if I then run through the file and match each time there is a CATETITLE
I only get a count of 2. How do I find out the total amount of CATETITLE?

Thanks

Gary

Your problem is relates not to the regex itself, but the matching
operator. Do read perldoc perlop.

CATETITLE1 CATETITLE2 CATETITLE3 CATETITLE4
CATETITLE5 CATETITLE6 CATETITLE7 CATETITLE8

while(<FILE>) {
if ($_=~ /CATETITLE/) {
$counter++;
}
}

Please post code that we can run with no effort.

C:\Home> cat hababa.pl
use strict;
use warnings;

my $counter = 0;
while(<DATA>) {
$counter += (my @m = $_ =~ /(CATETITLE)/g);
}
print $counter, "\n";

__DATA__
CATETITLE1 CATETITLE2 CATETITLE3 CATETITLE4
CATETITLE5 CATETITLE6 CATETITLE7 CATETITLE8

C:\Home> perl hababa.pl
8

while ( <FILE> ) {
$counter += () = /CATETITLE/g;
}

Lots of ways... Here's another, based on counting the words in each
line that contain "CATETITLE":

while(<FILE>) {
$counter += grep /CATETITLE/, split;
}
}
