Hi all,
I have the following problem in the following regex replace.
$line=~s!\b($name)\b!<au>$1!g;
here this regex finds the exact matching of the content in $name and does the
needed but in some examples the variable $name may contain backslash characters
like 'gene\l=s\' , in this type of cases the replace string does not work so i
have removed '\b' on either side and used the following
$line=~s!(\Q$name\E)!<au>$1!g;
This works fine but the problem is that the replacement is not done on the
exact word but also on substrings which is unnecessary.
if i use both \b\b and \Q\E then the code fails to replace.
please send suggestions in this regard
Thanks in advance for the help
Regards
Anand
