Hi, I want to apply a certain substition to a string, whereas the whole substitution is defined in a variable in another script. Unfortunately, it doesn't work as wanted :-( Looks like this:
sub.conf: $sub='s/db$//g'; script.pl: do sub.conf; print "Please enter string: "; # e.g. mydb $input=<STDIN>; print "$sub\n"; # gives the exact string as defined in sub.conf (without apostrophes) $input=~$sub; print "$input\n"; # in this example should be "my" Can anybody please tell me my mistake? Thanks in advance, Nora
