Hey guys, thanks for your help!
I found out about $`, $& and $', as well as $1 - $9. But here is still
the problem. They do *find* the "abc" or "xxx" in front of "y"
But I *cannot* act on them, I can only read them.
I am saying, I can't do something like
$` = " <#{$`}>"
these variables seem to be read-only
Any ideas?
Thanks again!
