I will throw in my two cents and mention that if you are starting regular
expressions, you may find perldoc perlrequick a little more gentle, as an

My immediate problem was checking a specific position in a string for a
specific value (if the char in the first position == '#', skip the
record). substr works OK in that case. However, I also want to learn
more and it seems regex is a better and more powerful answer.
Thank you,

Thanks for responding with your own solution. I like follow-ups like this.
Personally, I have those 'duh' moments all the time. Unfortunately, some
of them relate to real life, and not Perl ;)
Nice.

How do I access specific character positions in a scalar string? In case
it makes any difference, I specifically want to test the zeroth
character. Something like the following.
my $str = "abc";
if ($str[0] == '#')
{
do something...
}
Thank you in advance!
