I need to change perl script, but I am new to perl. Script is too long to copy here, but what I need is construct a reg ex pattern and store in variable. I need to concatenate this from many other variables. Then I must use this variable to do a match. Something like this: while (<>) { chomp; my $pt = "\d" . "\s" . "\d"; if ( /$pt/ ) { print("Match also using variable\n"); }
if ( /\d\s\d/ ) { print("Match not using variable\n"); } } The second match work if you give input like "1987 1988", but I cannot get first match to work. I must be confusing perl with /$pt/ but i don't know how to fix. Can someone give some hint, please? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
