i wanted to know what variables like $1, $2 mean and so i was looking at the documentation for Perl predefined variables in this following link :
http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6/pod/perlvar.html $<digits> Contains the subpattern from the corresponding set of capturing parentheses from the last pattern match, not counting patterns matched in nested blocks that have been exited already. (Mnemonic: like \digits.) These variables are all read-only and dynamically scoped to the current BLOCK. I couldn't make much sense out of it as a beginner. Could somebody explain it to me with an example ? Sandip. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
