Good afternoon;
I have a dumb question: I'm working with the following:
$line = "Joe Doe 123 Main St. Sometown, USA";
I have parsed the line to assign the values to the following variables:
$fname = "Joe";
$lname = "Doe";
$addr = "123 Main St.";
I'm trying to use the substitution operator to do something like:
$line =~ s/$fname $lname $addr//; ## doesn't like this syntax
So the value of $line now becomes "Sometown, USA".
I know I can do this by using 3 successive $line =~ s/..//; statements, but
can it be done with one statement like I tried above??
I've tried placing [ ] around each variable, using the || operator between
each variable- nothing seems to work.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Carl
