This is a segment of code to do string search:
my $email = "\pineyan";
my $name = "\\pine";
if($email =~ /($name)/) {
print "Found my name: $name!\n";
}
and I got the following error when running:
Can't find unicode character property definition via main->i or
i.pl at unicode/Is/i.pl line 0
Perl sees your regex as /(\pine)/, and \pi is a shortcut for \p{i} which
means "Unicode property 'i'". To get around this, do:
if ($email =~ /(\Q$name\E)/) { ... }
The \Q...\E auto-quotes any regex-related characters, so that they're
matched literally.
P.S. My last name is Pinyan (awfully close to your full name). It's
pronounced the same way, I'm told, as "pinyin", the process by which
Chinese characters are transliterated into English "words".
