Don't think there is anything wrong with the regex per say the script
below uses ur regex and seems to work ok, in that it matches lines
with an & anchored to the end of the line.
HTH
#! /usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
while (<DATA>){
print "String:\t" . $_ ;
if ( $_ =~ /(.*)[&]$/) {
print "match in line: $.\n";
}else {
print "no match in line: $.\n";
}
}
__DATA__
