Hi All,
What am I doing wrong here?
$ p6 'my $x="\$1.23"; $x~~s/("\$") (.*?)/$1USD/; say $x;'
USD1.23
I am expecting to see `1.23USD`
Many thanks,

The .*? expression is not matching anything. I think you want to use .+
perl6 -e 'my $x="\$1.23"; $x~~s/("\$") (.*?)/$0:$1:USD/; say $x;'
$::USD1.23
perl6 -e 'my $x="\$1.23"; $x~~s/ \$(.+) /$0USD/; say $x'
1.23USD

$ p6 'my $x="\$1.23"; $x~~s/("\$") (.*)/$1 USD/; say $x;'
