Re: regex substitution

Umm, why not just use variable interpolation?

foreach (0..@ChildName - 1) {
    my $text = "Your child $ChildName[$_] is invited to
      come to our school. Your child's teacher will be
      $TeacherName[$_], and the class is held in room
      $RoomNo[$_].";
    &PrintNotice($text) # or whatever...
}

Because this isn't within a script - I'm basically allowing users to create their own paragraph-like ouput of database rows. I wanted to have the combination of ease of use for non-savvy users, and ease of me translating the text into the right thing. I might convert to using <> instead of ##. ## is kinda useful because it's the way that some (like Cold Fusion) user-friendly systems use for variables.	[reply]
