Hi, Please tell me how to grab the leading spaces from a given line of text.
I tried this : my $text = " this is a test" ; # Test 1 my $leading_spaces = ($text =~ m/^(\s+)/) ; # This doesn't work print $leading_spaces ; # Prints 1 # Test 2 print ($text =~ m/^(\s+)/) ; # this prints the spaces Why does the 2nd case work, when the 1st case doesn't ? pv. -- Prahlad Vaidyanathan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> You may get an opportunity for advancement today.
