Re: Problem with input strings that have "[]" brackets

in reply to Problem with input strings that have "[]" brackets

Also realized that not the [] are the problem, it is the matching string. The unprotected "()" parenthesis gave a problem! This too would been fine too:
my $pattern = 'Category$"notestrecord"$';
I am tired need to go home. :-) But yes I should use quotemeta, specially because I am reading it from parameters. :-) Thank you!
