set some fiile data as a variable

[Peter]

I'm trying to get some information from a file
and i can print the right data to shell using

print ($line =~ m/\(-vop crop\=(\d+)/g )

but i want to be able to set this as a variable instead.
I know if i set that line equal to a variable i will just
get a value of 1 for true. How can i capture the information
print would show in a variable instead of true or false.

or variables, since you've specified the /g flag

instead.

($var) = $line =~ m/\(-vop crop\=(\d+)/g;

or to get 'em all into an array:

@vars = $line =~ m/\(-vop crop\=(\d+)/g;
