Hi all
Think I have a better unstanding of the use of () for my regex search,
but this morning I have a new set of problems, whereby I need to perform
a search and replace and then pass on to the new variable.
My current code is as so, and works:
$_ =~ s/(^\w+\.dat\|)//;
my $lineExtract = $_;
But I would like to have it a one liner.
I tried:
my ($lineExtract) = ($_ =~ s/(^\w+\.dat\|)//);
and
$lineExtract = ($_ =~ s/(^\w+\.dat\|)//);
If I do a print on the $lineExtract I dont get the output I require.
Any tips and advise would greatfully be appreciated.
I tried googling and the perldoc, but I havent found a decent answer.
Kind Regards
Brent Clark
