How can I capture multiple matches from the same Perl regex?

I'm trying to parse a single string and get multiple chunks of data out from the same string with the same regex conditions. I'm parsing a single HTML doc that is static (For an undisclosed reason, I can't use an 开发者_C百科HTML parser to do the job.) I have an expression that looks like:

$string =~ /\<img\ssrc\="(.*)"/;

and I want to get the value of $1. However, in the one string, there are many img tags like this, so I need something like an array returned (@1?) is this possible?

As Jim's answer, use the /g modifier (in list context or in a loop).

But beware of greediness, you dont want the .* to match more than necessary (and dont escape < = , they are not special).

while($string =~ /<img\s+src="(.*?)"/g ) {
  ...
} 

---

@list = ($string =~ m/\<img\ssrc\="(.*)"/g);

The g modifier matches all occurences in the string. List context returns all of the matches. See the m// operator in perlop.

---

You just need the global modifier /g at the end of the match. Then loop through until there are no matches remaining

my @matches;
while ($string =~ /\<img\ssrc\="(.*)"/g) {
        push(@matches, $1);
}

Use the /g modifier and list context on the left, as in

@result = $string =~ /\<img\ssrc\="(.*)"/g;
