Re: Regular expression question

I couldn't find what the 'e' is

It's in man perlop.

Also, I couldn't find any info for the '||'.

Amazingly, that's also in man perlop.

Let's see if I did my homework right. An "/e" will cause the replacement portion to be treated as a full-fledge Perl expression and evaluated right then and there. An "\|\|" Logical "OR" if the left expression true, then right is never evaluated. I think I got a handle on it now. Thanks for the pointers and making me do the homework ;-)	[reply]
