i wasn't planning on using ? to match a single character, i figured that
would be getting too complicated. how would that be done anyway? i must say
my regex skills aren't very good :/
The ? metacharacter would map to Perl's . regex metacharacter.
$temp1 =~ s{([^\w\s])}{
if ($1 eq '*') { '.*' }
else { "\\$1" }
}eg;
If you wanted to support it here, you could end up doing
$temp1 =~ s{([^\w\s])}{
if ($1 eq '*') { '.*' }
elsif ($1 eq '?') { '.' }
else { "\\$1" }
}eg;
