Hi all,
Can somebody show me how to use regular expression to subtitute a string
with speacial character such as [* , ?] in it ?
for example
$string = 'test ? test';
$input = 'Start test ? test End';
$change = 'Change';
$input =~ s/$string/$change/g;
After change, I expect $input = 'Start
The regex engine is seeing extra stuff in $string and thinking that you are
trying to build an expression with it. To get Perl to handle $string as straight
text, you need to quote it like this:
$input =~ s/\Q$string\E/$change/g;
