I have this:
while (<IN>) {
chomp;
next if /^#/;
# do stuff
}
It skips to the next item in the while loop of the string begins with
# and works fine. I would also like to skip to the next item in the
loop if the string contains anything other then lowercase,
underscores, numbers, dashes, periods, and spaces. I do not want
uppercase characters and any sort of other special characters. How
would I do that?
next if /[^[:lower:]_\d\-. ]/;
