Hi All, $ perl6 -e 'my $x="ab12cd"; $x ~~ m/ab(1q2)cd/; say "$x\n\$0=<$0>\n";' Use of Nil in string context in block <unit> at -e line 1 ab12cd $0=<>
With out the "q" in this, it works. I deliberately put the "q" to see what would happen when a patter was not found. Is there a way around the "use of nil" finger wag if a patter is not found? Or should I always test for its presence first if there is a possibility the pattern might not exist? Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners.
