Hi Peter Rabbitson, you wrote:
$str =~ s/ / /i; $str =~ s/ / /i; $str =~ s/ / /i; $str =~ s/ / /i; $str =~ s/ / /i; $str =~ s/ / /i; $str =~ s/ / /i; $str =~ s/ / /i; $str =~ s/ / /i;
is the same as:
$str =~ s/\s{2,10}/ /;
Read perldoc perlre, especially the part about quantifiers.
Thanks for the pointer! I'll run through the doc so I can understand how to build these sorts of statements!
Cheers! -- Dale
