Quick search question

[wraheem]

I have a quick (and probably simple) question. I have a script that uses a simple /FullName/ && print; statement. The problem is that the file it is searching from has multiple lines that have AltFullName as well as FullName and it prints both. I don't want the AltFullNames, just the FullNames.

I tried doing /[^Alt]FullNames/ && print; but it didn't print any FullNames!

Thanks for any help!

Is there a space in front of FullName? If so use that as part of your match

Just a thought

It's important in life to always strike a happy medium, so if you see someone with a crystal ball, and a smile on their face ...

No it is setup like:

Name: Bill Bozo
First: William
Fullname: Bill Bozo
AltFullName: William Bozo

/^FullName/m && print;

Obviously your print is more pseudo than anything else so it's hard to give a clear answer.
