Re: Escape characters and arrow keys and pp

You mean like this ...


#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

while(1) {
    while(<>) {
        s/\W//g;
        print;
    }
}

actually it does not work very well. `\W` means match non-word character, opposite of `\w`. See http://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html. You may want to look at http://search.cpan.org/~jstowe/TermReadKey-2.30/ReadKey.pm too. There may be other models on CPAN that may do what you are looking for. So search CPAN. Or most likely another monk will have the right answer.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
