Use plain english: &&(and) !(not).
Code:
if (/123/ && /abc/ &&! /efg/) {
    found all patterns
}

I think perl will interpret that correctly but it is written more clearly with a space between && and !

Code:
if (/123/ && /abc/ && !/efg/) {
    found all patterns
}

Thanks again. Smilie Slowly learning....

I also came up with something that seems to work...

Code:
if ( $_ =~ /123/ && $_ =~ /abc/ && $_ !~ /efg/) {
   print "Line has 123 and abc, and not efg";
}

That is the exact same thing written in long form. Sort of like "do not" and "don't", written differently but have the same meaning.
