Re: Re: Loading $_ as checkbox value when $_ has double quotes in its value

hakkr, afaiui that isn't the problem. The problem is that, if $_ contains doublequotes, then this

$_ = qq|sheep go "baaa"|;
print qq|<input value="$_">|;
[download]

will output this:

<input value="sheep go "baaaa"">
[download]

where the value attribute = "sheep go" and "baaa"" is disregarded.

That's my understanding - I could have the wrong end of the stick.

That's exactly the problem BUT it can be over come by simply using the regex solution twice, once to prepare the var for being a checkbox value and then reversing it to print the HTML back to the txt file. Dumpdadah! Yay! Thanks again and again guys!
