Re: regexp

Number one will match:
\d+\x3a1108
or
\w+\x3a1108 at least once

Number two will match:
(\d+\x3a1108|\w+\x3a1108) at least once

so yes the {1,} outside means the whole thing and {1,} inside means only the
part after the or (pipe '|' sign) unless my regex skills are completely
deserting me after a whole day of work...

In this regexp

my $regexp = qr/(\d+\x3a1108
|\w+\x3a1108{1,} ) /;

vs.

my $regexp1 = qr/(\d+\x3a1108
|\w+\x3a1108){1,} /;

does the {1,} construct outside the parens () mean the entire string 1 or
more times and within the parens mean only the last string \x3s1180 1 or
more times?

What is the diff?

thank you.
