=Hi Allan,
<complain>
can you imagin that it is rather a big effort
to guess what you want to express?
Some advices:
1. It would be a good practice for you to
start using capital letters. You have paid for
them, so use them!
2. Post a complete script containing
TEST DATA!!! This means:
start your script with a line like this:
$_ = "my test data: bla bla bla ... ";
3. Then end your question with a line like this:
## my desired result: "stuff23"
3. Read your question again and once again
before posting it.
See: all this what I am writing is
a ready-to-run Perl script, although it does
contain only 3 lines of Perl code.
</complain>
Do you think of something like this?
=cut
$_ = "some stuff";
s/some (stuff)/$1."23"/ge;
print; ## will print: "stuff23"
=o
