Re: need <-[x]> help

you want a negative lookahead assertion, which are described (with an example) at https://docs.perl6.org/language/regexes#Lookahead_Assertions On Thu, May 3, 2018 at 3:10 AM, Todd Chester wrote: > Hi All, > > What I am trying to do is to replace a quote `"` > with

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/\"(.)<-[,]>/
