Hi, I am not sure if this can be done. But just asking it out of curiosity. I have written this snippet.
use strict; use warnings; my $var = '$str abc_xyz'; my $str; for(my $i=1;$i <= 5; $i++){ $str = $i; my $line = 'Line: '.$var; print "$line\n"; } Currently it displays: Line: $str abc_xyz Line: $str abc_xyz Line: $str abc_xyz Line: $str abc_xyz Line: $str abc_xyz But can I make it output following: Line: 1 abc_xyz Line: 2 abc_xyz Line: 3 abc_xyz Line: 4 abc_xyz Line: 5 abc_xyz i.e. I want $str to be dynamically replaced with the value of number. ~Parag
