Hi ,
I have a question regarding matching strings that have embeded perl special characters.
$abc = 'MC10.G(12)3c';
$efg = 'MC10.G(12)3c';
Now I want to check whether they are same or not by doing
if ($abc =~ /$efg/) { do something;}
Why not use the 'eq' operator if ($abc eq $efg) {#do something;}
For this I need to insert a '\' before every special char.
For academic interest, you can escape the special characters during matching using \Q and \E
if ($abc =~ /\Q$efg\E/) { #do something;}
Can some one tell me an easy way to do ?
