Re^2: Matching @ in string

OK, so I was missing something obvious.

But if I don't want to modify the string by escaping the @ and I want to run program as a one-liner, how do I do it if I can't escape the single quotes as you point out here?

Thanks,

loris

`perl -e 'if (q{h@t} =~ /(\@)/ ) { print $1 }'` [download] See perlop for the `q` operator; look under "Regexp Quote-Like Operators", and a few scrolls down from that :) PS: Your link to Re^3: Matching @ in string is broken because you did `node=id` instead of `node_id` - see What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information? for better, more efficient means of linking to information on Perlmonks.

... don't want to modify the string by escaping the @ and I want to run program as a one-liner, how do I do it if I can't escape the single quotes Try: ... `perl -e "print 'h@t'=~ /\@/g"` [download] or even `echo 'h@t' \| perl -ne 'print /\@/g'` [download] ... depending on the type of problem you are about to solve.
