Hello monks,
I was wondering if there is a way to use $` and $' in bash commands... lets say
perl -lane '$F[1]=~s/(chr\w[^_]?)_.*\b/$1/;print $`. "\t". $F[1] ."\t" .$'' (which does not work because the apostrophe ends the executable... \' doesn't work either) . Also why is it that \1 doesn't work... is using $1 the correct way to do this? If anyone knows of a reference that documents what special characters translate to bash commands it would be very appreciated. Thank you for your help.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
