Ok I've read in the docs that $& and his mates $' and $` and some bad boys that slow down all regular expressions in an entire program. So in an effort to prevent having to use them I was going to use either: @- and @+ Or The index function
I was wondering if anyone knows whether the @- and @+ system variables were bad like the saw ampersand and friends. Also would they be better to use than searching the string again using the index function? -Wayne Simmons -- Software Engineer InterSystems USA, Inc. 303-858-1000 _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
