Re^4: Disable Regex

in thread Disable Regex

Really?! Buggers... so it will work that way. To find time to work on the problem, I simply scanned through the file until I found a section causing the headache and copied it into a perl file and assigned it to a variable (too lazy to create a file, open then read it I guess). Then I moved the sample+Perl file to a different computer (my laptop) so I can work away from the main computer.

I'll read it directly from a file and see how it goes.

You might like the __DATA__ section: `use strict; use warnings; foreach (<DATA>) { chomp; print "$_\n";; } __DATA__ illegal\charactersexample? ab\delta.txt abdelta.txt` [download] Which produces `illegal\charactersexample? ab\delta.txt abdelta.txt` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You might like the __DATA__ section:

use strict;
use warnings;

foreach (<DATA>) {
    chomp;
    print "$_\n";;
}
__DATA__
illegal\characters*example?
ab\delta.txt
ab*delta.txt
[download]

Which produces

illegal\characters*example?
ab\delta.txt
ab*delta.txt
