Re^5: Regex with Backslashes

'\x' and '\\x' produce the same string by using two different representations of the same character. That's the point you have not grasped. (Update: I couldn't use '\' as an example because it's illegal! Why?)

Give a man a fish: <%-{-{-{-<

It would be presumptuous of me to answer your question, especially as my programming skills are just at hobby level, but I recognize that backslash in a single quoted string behaves differently before a ', so you effectively lose the closing quote. I do note that `print '\'' . "\n";` prints "'" which would allow you to include a single quote inside a single quoted string much as you would use \" to include double quotes in a double quoted string. As to my grasp of <'\x' and '\\x' produce the same string by using two different representations of the same character>, you're right!	[reply] [d/l]

It may or may not be presumptuous of you to answer the question, but it's clear that you understand what I said you did not. Please accept my apology! :) Give a man a fish: `<%-{-{-{-<`	[reply] [d/l]
