Hi All,
What I am trying to do is to replace a quote `"`
with `inches`, but NOT when the quote is followed
by a comma `,`.
In other words, ignore `",`
I am not having too good a time with it. What am I
doing wrong?
$ perl6 -e 'my $x=qw["44","7" ab","","999"]; say
"$x";$x~~s:g/\"(.)<-[,]>/ inches($0)/; say "$x";'
"44","7" ab","","999"
inches(4)inches(,)7inches( )binches(,)inches(,)999"
desired output:
"44","7 inches ab","","999"
Many thanks,
-T
next step, ignoring the quote at the end of the line.
