hi i was trying to do negation (~) on a string and i was getting strange result.
#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; $a = "venkat"; $b = ~ $a; print $a, "\n"; print $b, "\n"; when i run this i am getting blank for $b, and getting 1;2c on the command prompt. when i changed $a from venkat to abcdef nothing was there at command prompt. i am pretty new to perl, hope someone helps me out. thanks. venkat. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
