Re^2: Not matching a single quote (apostrophe!)

Yes, I tried \Q$n\E but still fails

$tmp contains some 27,000 lines, the entries with quotes fail

e.g. King's Cross\tGreater London

$n is exactly "King's Cross", for attempt 1, "King\'s Cross" for attempt 2.

Note the brackets "Mayfair (north)" won't work in attempt 1 but will work in attempt 2 if I match "Mayfair $north$"

so why not the quote????

`$tmp contains some 27,000 lines, the entries with quotes fail` Then extract a line that should match, and doesn't, and show us that line. Perl 6 - links to (nearly) everything that is Perl 6.	[reply] [d/l]
