Holger,
Actually $ is a special character in string in perl. So, if the $ is
there in the input,
you will have to always write it with the leading escape character.
So, make your input will be like this,
my $data = "Hello, i am a litte String.$ Please format me.$$$ I am the end
of the String.$$ And i am the last!";
It will solve your problem.
$ is only special in strings with double quote marks ( " ) around
them. I think you meant to say:
my $data = "Hello, i am a little String.\$ Please format me.\$\$\$ I
am the end of the String.\$\$ And i am the last!";
That works, but, you can also use:
my $data = 'Hello, i am a little String.$ Please format me.$$$ I am
the end of the String.$$ And i am the last!';
(Note the type of quote mark used)
If you were to print out the original string data like this:
my $data = "Hello, i am a litte String.$ Please format me.$$$ I am
the end of the String.$$ And i am the last!";
print("$data\n");
you would get this:
Hello, i am a litte String. format me. I am the end of the
String.1896 And i am the last!
i.e., the original string did not have any '$' characters in it at all.
