in reply to Removing a Pattern matched in a Scalar

If i understood you question correctly, do you want something like this.

$name = 'celery';
$scalar = "::fruits||apple::fruits||orange::vegetable||celery::vegetab
+le||lettuce";
$scalar =~ s/::(fruits|vegetable)\|\|$name//gsi;
print "$scalar";

    Hey,

    seems like most of your replies all worked wonderfully :)

    Thanks a lot, and jbrugger I will take your advice and read more about Data::Dumper and formating this list inside hashes.
