Hi, I have a scalar variable $x whose value is "a(b"
I am trying to replace the paranthesis with a backslash followed by parenthesis, I mean, ( to \( $x =~ s/\(/\\(/g; However this is making $x as "a\\(b" which is not what I want. Can somebody please help me with the regular expression here? Thanks. -Murali -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
