dear all, i want to make some search and replace within a string where I can define a set of characters, especially parenthesis, brackets etc., which are to be ignored.
For example, I have the following string: sdjfh sdf sjkdfh sdkjfh sdjkf f[o]o(bar) hsdkjfh sdkljfhs sjfh sdkj sdjkfh sdjfh ska A search and replace for 'foobar' should result in the following string: sdjfh sdf sjkdfh sdkjfh sdjkf ##f[o]o(bar)## hsdkjfh sdkljfhs sjfh sdkj sdjkfh sdjfh ska I tried doing this with Unicode::Collate but with this module the search and replace is very slow and lacks some flexibility. Is it possible to make this kind of search and replace with a regular expression, or does somebody know of an existing perl module which can do this? tia, Frank -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
