I'm not quite sure how to code this, (or search for a solution to....)
I want to search a text file, and replace a text string of the format
$xxxxxxx. Example: I want to search for $sysname in a file, but I want to
first
assign that string to a perl variable. I've tried various combinations of
escaping the $, but it is not working.
so something like this:
$target = "$sysname";
if (/$target/)
{
print "found $sysname\n";
}
however, if I do this, it works.
if /\$sysname/
{
print "found $sysname\n";
}
Thanks.
Chris
