Carlos, the backslash should be before the "w+", not the parenthesis. Your regex should read "^-(\w+)", without the quotes.

I put (/w+) in your tutorial running on \fredupperlower/clipped/file.txt and it matches /clipped, which I want it to. But in my script, it's not working. The sequence is:

$dir = $File::Find::dir;
$dir =~ /(/w+)/;
$dirname = $1;
print "directory name: $dirnamen";

I tried using:

$dir =~ m!/(w+)!;

and that seemed to work (better than I expected, since it returns "clipped" instead of "/clipped" which is easier to work with for my purposes).

Agus: (d{3})d{6} or
d{3}-d{5}
I forget how to make it so that "either" will grab the line.
(((d{3})d{6})|(d{3}-d{5})) should have done it, I think, but it failed to catch the second one in capture groups.

Agus: I put it in correctly, but the comment engine stripped out some back slashes. There should be a backslash before each parenthesis in the first one listed.
