Re: Regex doubt

Sorry For the choas,
I have a line with the string "TelecommuterTrac\WebIntHitList3" and using regular expression i want it to subtitute "country" into that line. I tried many ways what all the monks said..but ended up in vein. So can any one give the exact working code...See below for more info

$line = "this is TelecommuterTrac\WebIntHitList3";
I want it to be
"this is country"

Your problem is, \W is a unknown escape sequence, so use ' not ". `$line = 'this is TelecommuterTrac\WebIntHitList3'; $line =~ s/\QTelecommuterTrac\WebIntHitList3/country/; print $line __OUTPUT__ this is country` [download] Boris	[reply] [d/l]

AFAIK there's no special `\W` escape sequence. Thus `$line` boils down to `"this is TelecommuterTracWebIntHitList3"`. HTH	[reply] [d/l] [select]
