Need Help with Perl REGEXP
I need help with a Perl regular expression.
The following string blows up my program: <david(greg jim)>
If I type this string, there is no problem: <david(greg_jim)> or type
david(gregjim) or type <david greg jim> the CGI program does not complain.
For some reason that I do not understand the string david(greg jim) returns the error "did not produce a valid header."
Is there anybody out there that can help me with a regexp that can prevent the CGI error. This string works: david(greg) jim; therefore, I was thinking of maybe adding the right param.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Dave

REGEX(3) Library Functions Manual REGEX(3)
NAME
re_comp, re_exec - regular expression handler
SYNOPSIS
char *re_comp(s)
char *s;
re_exec(s)
char *s;
DESCRIPTION
Re_comp compiles a string into an internal form suitable for pattern matching. Re_exec checks the argument string against the last string
passed to re_comp.
Re_comp returns 0 if the string s was compiled successfully; otherwise a string containing an error message is returned. If re_comp is
passed 0 or a null string, it returns without changing the currently compiled regular expression.
Re_exec returns 1 if the string s matches the last compiled regular expression, 0 if the string s failed to match the last compiled regular
expression, and -1 if the compiled regular expression was invalid (indicating an internal error).
The strings passed to both re_comp and re_exec may have trailing or embedded newline characters; they are terminated by nulls. The regular
expressions recognized are described in the manual entry for ed(1), given the above difference.
SEE ALSO
ed(1), ex(1), egrep(1), fgrep(1), grep(1)
DIAGNOSTICS
Re_exec returns -1 for an internal error.
Re_comp returns one of the following strings if an error occurs:
No previous regular expression,
Regular expression too long,
unmatched (,
missing ],
too many () pairs,
unmatched ).
