in reply to Re^2: search and replace with a variable
in thread search and replace with a variable

If you value your system, data and sanity, when you're using CGI, use -T (taint) as well. (Yes, there are exceptions, but since you're still asking us to believe in mystery source_data, this isn't one of them!)


Questions containing the words "doesn't work" (or their moral equivalent) will usually get a downvote from me unless accompanied by:
  1. code
  2. verbatim error and/or warning messages
  3. a coherent explanation of what "doesn't work actually means.

check Ln42!
