Hi All.
I have a real issue with strings. I want to build a sub routine skeleton plus
some test code. If I use () or {} etc. The string comes out completely messed
up. The code below is for a heredoc and complains that I am trying to define a
function. If I use the skeleton within a string. It places the () at() at the
beginning. In other words it messes up the formatting.
Both code examples below:
foreach my $k (keys %commands ) {
my $s;
$k =~ s/show //;
$s = $k;
$s =~ s/ |\-/_/g;
print "<<TEXT";
$s () if(\$k =~ m/$k/);
sub $s () {
} # end sub
String example:
foreach my $k (keys %commands ) {
my $s;
$k =~ s/show //;
$s = $k;
$s =~ s/ |\-/_/g;
print ""$s () if(\$k =~ m/$k/);\n";
print "sub $s () {\} # end sub\n\n";
} # end foreach
Note, I have escaped with the '\' the above () and {}, and other punctuation
characters with no success. I have even used the \q \e escape sequences with no
success. Tried to build the string up with using single quotes and double
quotes with no success. Any help would be really welcomed.
Why? I have about 100 different commands from a router which I am converting
the command into a sub routine to process the output. Each output is unique to
the command.
