Re: Space and the /x modifier

others have said you ought to read perlre, and you should do that
but you can use \x20, whera as hex(20) is 32, and use of \x20 in a regex will match a space (same if you print "\x20")

perl -e " print 1 if q{ } =~ /\x20/ "

That's neat! Not necessary for an ordinary space as I can see from the answers above, but quite useful for some exotic chars. Thanx a lot! ^~Django "Why don't we ever challenge the spherical earth theory?"	[reply]
