Re^2: How to reference to array keys?

Hey Marshall,

I copy/pasted in your code but from this line -->(line 20) if (m|^/|)... From that line on down it looks like you are missing a quotation mark or a backslash in the if.
Should it be more like this? Or something like this?
if (m|/^/|)

Thanks, Matt

No, the code is fine like it is. What is happening is that I changed the default separator for the regex from '/' to '\|'. When that happens, there has to be an explicit "m" in front of it. "if (/^\//)" would be the same effect. Since the '/' means regex starts/ends, I have to escape the '/' at the beginning of the line and we wind up with a bunch of "leaning toothpicks". The aesthetics these leaning toothpicks didn't look very good to me so I changed it. Sometimes you will see `if (m{^/})` because another way is to use curly braces. Sounds like you have a text editor that is not so smart and its leading you astray with wrong highlighting.	[reply] [d/l]
