Hey,

Is there a way to do non greedy matches. The maildrop man page says that it tries to match as much as possible initialy.

=?iso-8859-1?B?Rnc6IKG5qqu7+aRXuqahQaZMqu2+96/Tp/erfr3opl71WKFBu/mu5qSj?= =?iso-8859-1?B?uqa7+SEgIEFubnkwOTEyMDYzMg==?=

For the above sample text in $SUBJECT (in single line), i want to match each pattern individually. But the below regex matches the entire line instead.

foreach ($SUBJECT) =~ /=\?.+\?.+\?.+\?=/ { if ( $MATCH =~ /([:space:])*=\?!.+!\?!.+!\?!.+!\?=([:space:])*/ ) { SCHARSET=$MATCH2 SENCODETYPE=$MATCH4 ESUBJECT=$MATCH6 } }

Is there any way to use non greedy quantifiers ? The below regex works well in regex coach and matches each pattern in the sample text individually but not in maildrop.

=\?.+?\?.+?\?.+?\?=

TIA Dushyanth
