Re^3: Multiple replacements with the exception of previously made replacements.

If you want to leave the s/// while be able to add hash elements, write it like this:

my %replace = (....);
my $pat = join '|', map {quotemeta} keys %replace;
s/($pat)/$replace{$1}/g;

Otherwise, you'll have to update the pattern in the s/// if you add a new hash element.

Hi JavaFan, did that now, my statement about leaving the s/// in my previous post wasn't exactly true, yeah. That's sweet, so is quotemeta. I'm gonna have to mess around with map a little more, the map solution in my initial post was provided by a friend of mine. What can I say, thanks a lot, again, greatly appreciating all replies!
