Re^2: Add character in middle

in reply to Re: Add character in middle
in thread Add character in middle

I used like this,

#!/usr/bin/perl
$var='<date>';
$newvar=$var;
   $sec = substr($newvar,0,1);
   $sec = '</'; print $sec,"\n";

print "Old value is $var and new value is $sec";
[download]

It doesnot print like this Old value is <date> and new value is </date>

Your last assignment to `$sec` is `</`. Why would you expect it to contain `</date>`?	[reply] [d/l] [select]
