Re: Converting to capital only one word in a line

The backslash escapes the character following it. Oh, that's right. Sorry. Using scalar() there is redundant as the expression is already in scalar context. Also using "scalar(@split_home) - 1" will not work correctly if the value of $[ has been changed. What exactly *is* $[? It has been co

Re: Converting to capital only one word in a line

You don't have to escape the colon in a regular expression. Oh, cool. Didn't know that. > my $home = $split_line[5]; > my @split_home = split(/\/, $home); ^^^ Syntax error. The terminating delimiter is missing. I am confused. What do you mean, the terminating delimt

Re: Negate a regular expression

!~ will return true if the thing on the right does not match. In your case, however, using unless seems more logical. Something like exit unless (lc($answer) =~ /^[y|yes]$/) should work. The ^ and $ are there to make sure that the string contains nothing but ``y'' or ``yes''. Make sure that you

Re: Perl OS system equivalence or Perl scripts for UNIX-and-Windows

e the UNIX commands yourself (or use those that others created already). Many of them are fairly easy to recreate, but some are more difficult. Obviously, rewriting Vi in Perl is stupid, but you can quite easily do things like ls, rm, etc. -- Leonid Grinberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lgrinber
