Hi, I'm trying to do a substitution and am having trouble in that I am getting
non-specific matches...I'd like to specify the regular expression to match any
character to the left of $code and nothing or the end of the array element on
the right of $code...is there a character class or some other way to specify
the end of the array element?
thanks,
keb
For an array @TREE, the gist of the substitution is this
#if ($TREE[$n] =~ m/(.*)$code/) {print "MATCH"."
".$code."VALUE->".$id_global{$code}."<-\n";}else {print "NO MATCH" ."
".$code."<-\n";} #works,matches all values w/right val
$TREE[$n] =~ s/(.*)$code/$1$id_global{$code}/; #Yea!...now it substitutes
one value correctly
}
#print $TREE[$n].":"."\n";
$n++;
$count++;
}
}
print $TREE[$n].":";
