Hi, Thank you Lesleyb, Shlomi, Rob.
I should have connected the <> in the output with the <> that I used to get the stuff into the script in the first place but it made no connection. So perl gets better all the time! And that knowledge enabled me to track down the error in the regex so we are up and running now with a few minor issues to resolve. bestest Anne On Sat, Sep 22, 2012 at 12:19:16PM +0100, Rob Dixon wrote: > On 22/09/2012 08:45, Anne Wainwright wrote: >> Hi, >> >> this is the output. >> >> Use of uninitialized value $9 in concatenation (.) or string at >> pg_delim2htm_01.pl line 89, <> line 1. >> Use of uninitialized value $9 in concatenation (.) or string at >> pg_delim2htm_01.pl line 89, <> line 4. >> Use of uninitialized value $9 in concatenation (.) or string at >> pg_delim2htm_01.pl line 89, <> line 6. >> >> and so on >> >> What do the <> with the 'lines' to the right mean? >> >> (I do seem to have a problem on line 89 which is a regex with the /x >> modifier) > > Hello Anne > > The error means that you have used $9 in a string, either > > "the ninth capture is $9" > > or the equivalent > > "the ninth capture is " . $9 > > but $9 has no value.
