Fellow Monks,
thanks to your help (see
Maybe Escape in Dynamic RegExps) I have been happy for quite while but now the fun is continued.
my $e = '\\' # kind of escape char
my $s = '\''; # this is a string to use for splitting
if(string_contains_newlines()) {
$s .= "\n"; # ?? right so?
}
my $re = "(?<!\Q$e\E)\Q$s\E";
$split_re = qr/$re/s;
That is to say: when the string to split contains newlines (or --more precisely--
$/) I need to split the string according to a new regular expression that takes the former separator (stored in
$s here) plus the newline character(s).
As you might guess, the above code doesn't work and I've run out of ideas what else to try.
Any hints or help appreciated.
Regards... |
Stefan

you begin bashing the string with a +42 regexp of confusion
