how do I use scalar variables in substitution and complex matching? eg I want the following to work.
$string =~ s/^$variable//; $string =~ m/^([^$variable]*)/; ---------------------------------------------- Do a search for "perl regex" and you'll find all kinds of info. - Chris $foo='The Quick Brown Fox'; $bar='brown'; $color='Orange'; print "Found 1\n" if ($foo=~/$bar/); # Case sensitive print "Found 1\n" if ($foo=~/$bar/i); # Case insensitive $foo=~s/$bar/$color/gi; # Case insensitive greedy substitution print "$foo\n"; _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
