Re^3: inserting array of data into text file

s/^(\S\s+\S)/$1 $col[$i++]/e; - you have code you need executed in the replacement half of the substitution. Perl doesn't do that unless you tell it to.

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested

Wrong. He wants it as a string, so it shouldn't have an `/e`. Quite the contrary, adding an `/e` would make his syntax invalid. You didn't even test your code, did you? The only code I see is in the array index, and code in array or hash indexes is always executed, if the variable will be interpolated — thus: in double-quotish context. That's how the module Interpolation works.	[reply]

I think people get confused because of the /e being optional if there's just one thing there (e.g. s/(\S+)/$translate{$1}/e; is equivalent to s/(\S+)/$translate{$1}/;).	[reply]
