Hello,

I'm trying to do a search and replace on a file (specifically the word 
transformC). A cut down version of the file is below:

blahblah -blah blah                        
   -blah blah -blah $blah -blah "Ground"
   -c "blah transformC" transformC;                        
                           
blahblah
   -af transformC    "blah"    ($blah)
   -af AtransformC "blah"     ($blah)
   -af transformC_2 "blah"     ($blah)

a pattern like this seems to take care of this:
$line =~ s/([\s"])transformC([\W|\D])/$1TRANSC$2/g;
giving

blahblah -blah blah                        
   -blah blah -blah $blah -blah "Ground"
   -c "blah TRANSC" TRANSC;                        
                           
blahblah
   -af TRANSC    "blah"    ($blah)
   -af AtransformC "blah"     ($blah)
   -af transformC_2 "blah"     ($blah)

however I want a pattern that will NOT change "blah transformC", but 
will still replace transformC; "transformC" transformC

any ideas?

thanks,

martin
