hiall:
I am writing a regexp rename script as an exercise for
learning perl. Here's what it's suppose to do:
regren.pl "REGEXP1" "REGEXP2"
would do
$ARG1 = shift @ARGV;
$ARG2 = shift @ARGV;
// some code to obtain a filename list and loop:
$filename =~ s/$ARG1/$ARG2/
and rename the file accordingly...
but when I do:
regren.pl "^(.*?)\.ext" "$1"
Perl replace the matched string with string literal
'$1' not the first matched part as what $1 should be.
This is probably pretty dump, but any idea?
