Hi, all --
I've got another RegEx question, a follow-up to one that I asked earlier
today:
Given a string that looks like this: "This is a (string of words) that go together"
I need to turn it into this: "This is a (stringofwords) that go together"
Which is to say, I need to match one set of characters (the parentheses) and
then do a reg-ex operation on another (the spaces).
Thoughts?
Do you have to worry about nested parens? It's a lot easier if you don't:
s{(\([^)]\))}{
my $replace = $1;
$replace =~ tr/ //d;
$replace;
}e;Hope that helps.
