A quick question for the wizards--
Will I do?
Is it possible to do a substitution without compiling the pattern at all?
Sure.
************************************** #!/usr/bin/perl
$ss = "cool???"; $rs = "cool."; $_ = "Perl is really cool???"; s/$ss/$rs/g;
The above line could also be written:
substr $_, index($_, $ss), length($ss), $rs;
print "$_\n"; **************************************
Hope that helps.
