RE: Remove White Space
I am stumped, none of these are working. I even tried something like $url=~s/\t*^\.htm/\.htm/g But I'm not sure if that is even remotely close. Incase this might help, here are a couple of lines BEFORE my new line. $url = substr($url, 18, -3); #removes the java script text to get the filename $url =~ s/^\s+//; #removes white space at beginning of filenames $url =~ s///gs;#removes accidental in the file name $url=~s/\t*^\.htm/\.htm/g #the troubled line I can't figure out, remove the space between filename and .htm Thanks again for everyones help! -Scott -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 06, 2001 5:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Perl Help; 'Mooney Christophe-CMOONEY1' Subject: RE: Remove White Space make sure you are also getting rid of tabs $var=~s/\t*^//g "The software said it required Windows 3.1 or better so I installed Linux.

RE: Remove White Space
No error messages or anything, but the white space is still in there. I did, however change the syntax to $var=~ s/\s*//g; From $var=~/\s*//g; Because I got a divide error when using the later. -Scott -Original Message- From: Mooney Christophe-CMOONEY1 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 06, 2001 5:01 PM To: 'Perl Help' Subject: RE: Remove White Space What happens when you try? -Original Message----- From: Scott Martin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 06, 2001 4:05 PM To: 'Mooney Christophe-CMOONEY1' Cc: 'Perl Help' Subject: RE: Remove White Space That's what I thought it would be but still no luck. -Scott -Original Message- From: Mooney Christophe-CMOONEY1 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 06, 2001 4:52 PM To: Perl Help Subject: RE: Remove White Space $var=~/\s*//g; # ;) -----Original Message- From: Scott Martin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 06, 2001 3:56 PM To: Perl Help Subject: RE: Remove White Space After I sent it out, I actually came up with the idea myself after some digging.

How can I remove white space from the beginning of a variable? -Scott

execute if NOT true.
I am testing a string like so: if ($url =~ /maincat/) { block } but I
want to execute if it does NOT find maincat. How would I do that?
Could I use a ! in front of the =
thanks
