Re: Regexp for oneliner conversion

How do I convert a Unix oneliner like this

Depends how "like" that it is:

$o = q[perl -wl -e 'print "This is text";'];;

$o =~ tr['"]["'];;

print $o;;
perl -wl -e "print 'This is text';"

I can see many ways to make that fail, but it might be good enough.

Otherwise, you soon move into the realms of Only perl can parse Perl.

One question about the code.Why did you use `;;` Typo? No. See Re^6: RFC: IPerl - Interactive Perl ( read-eval-print loop ) (x) and the full thread it is a part of if you really need to know; otherwise, just ignore it.
