Hi,

In one of my scripts I do a search and replace like this :

    $text =~ s/$search/$replace/;

This works fine, but if $search or $replace contains one or more words 
between round brackets () it doesn't what I had in mind :

    $text = "This is a text (with brackets)...";
    $rearch = "(with brackets)";
    $replace = "without brackets";
    $text =~ s/$search/$replace/;
    print $text;

If I run this example it prints :  This is a text (without brackets)...

Where did I go wrong ?




Kind regards,



Rene Verharen
