This is the pattern I compile: "\\s*(([^\\s]+)\\s*:\\s*(.*?))\\s*" in ORO
and it fails to match. But this same pattern used in Perl with the
givent input (below) does work.
$nextLine = "greeting: How do you do?\t";
if ($nextLine =~ /\s*(([^\s]+)\s*:\s*(.*?))\s*/) {
print "It's a match\n";
}
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Ryan Parks
