Hi Guys -

I have looked in Supersearch, but can't find anything close to my query...although, i couldn't really think of any good search strings either :P

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

# variables

my $eng;


# main 

print "String : \n";
($eng = <STDIN>);

($eng =~ s/u/a/i) if ($eng =~ /^.*u.*/g);

print $eng;

The code above does the following. If I enter
"Jump up, Helmut!",
the result is
"Jamp up, Helmut!".
What I want though, is
"Jamp ap, Helmat!".
I.E Substitute every 'u' for an 'a', instead of just the first one.

Any ideas?

Thanks
