Re^4: Substitution, '+' in first position of Pattern by flexvault (Monsignor) on Oct 01, 2010 at 11:13 UTC
Both JavaFan and suhailck solutions work correctly. The `quotemata` or `\Q` is what I need in my code. The $in / $out were just to show a sample of the problem. Sorry, I didn't noticed the reversing of pattern at the time, since I got the same error message. The actual code has only 1 variable, but without the backslash of '+' my solution didn't work in all case. Thank you.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
