Re: Fibonacci numbers using regexes (threes are wild)

I tried to execute this on ActiveState Win32 v5.10.0 and received the following error message:

Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1.
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

I copied the code exactly as written, there are 2 string terminators in the line of code.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I haven't used windows in about 10 years, but a voice in my head says that windows may not support single quotes for command-line arguments. Try using double quotes instead? In unix systems, double quotes will cause $variables to be interpolated so I used single quotes. blokhead	[reply]

Thanks, it works now, I keep forgetting about those pesky double quotes. 30 was pretty fast for me, but 48 is taking a bit of time... pmonk4ever "No trees were harmed in the creation of this node. However, a rather large number of electrons were somewhat inconvenienced."	[reply]
