Regex to gather text within multiple pipes

Question

I have text that I need to match on in between the pipes. I have tried \|[^|]+\|, but that doesn't seem to gather each one.

|N/A|text123|text1235|Medium|1|Medium|test123|test456|test|test|test|http|tcp|

Answer 1

This looks like a job for split:

my @items = split /\|/, $string;

print "$_\n" for @items;

Output:

N/A
text123
text1235
Medium
1
Medium
test123
test456
test
test
test
http
tcp

As far as a regex, this should work:

my @items = /[^|]+/g;

Answer 2

Try this:

    [^\|]+

I.e. Match anything except pipes
