Hello Monks,

I want to replace a substring (relative path to a c-sources) in a string with another string (fullpath to sources) but it's not working at all.. I have no idea why?

Here my code:

use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;

#For testing only a pseudo workspacepath
my $Workspace = 'Workspace\\';

#This string has the substring which i want to repalce.
my $string = '"_out\Dem_Deb_Cfg.h", line 189: warning #47-D: incompati
+ble redefinition of        ';

if($string=~m/(\[[\S]+\.c\]|\[[\S]+\.h\]|\[[\S]+\.cpp\]|"[\S]+\.c"|"[\
+S]+\.h"|"[\S]+\.cpp")/i){
        my $identifier = $1;
        chop($identifier);
        my $search = substr($identifier,1);
        my $replace = $Workspace.$search;
        if( not($string =~s#$search#$replace#)){
            print"does not work :-( \n";
        }
}

Any help is highly welcome!
Best regards
