Hi. I'm not totally sure what ur asking but it seems that u want to do
variable substitution in an XML file. If the variable names are already in
the text u need an eval.
$text = eval "\"$xmlfile\"";
That will replace $1 with whatever it's current value is.
Here is the Perl code which I'm using for substitution in xml file
UIIE_A_123456.xml.
I'm getting search string and replacement string for substitution from another
file (cleanup.txt)
But after substitution, variable of replaced string doesn't interpolated as
defined in &#

Hi all,
I'm trying to 'water down' a utf8-encoded to latin-1. Using
Encode::encode does the trick, and it replaces character that do not fit
into latin-1 with a subtitution character (as per the documentation)
Can anyone tell me how I can change this character to something else,
like a ' '?
Not sure I'm getting it completely, but using match in a while loop w/ the
/g modifier lets you process a string one match at a time:
my $string = "Lots of words to be read one at a time.\nthough more than
one line";
while ( $string =~ /(\w+)/g ) {
print "Found: $1\n";
print "Proceessing ..

Er, what were you trying to do again?
Why won't { my @bits = split":",$in; } be good enough
to get the bits, and the rewriting as {print join":",@bits} ?
Sorry, little history in my box

I tried s/(\d{3})/,$1/g, but for certain numbers it leaves a leading comma, i.e.

Hi Perlers,
I need some help with a regex I can't figure out.
In short, I need to enclose all occurences of certain "label"
strings in a text file into '^' marks.
I.e., for example:
"See SAY_PLEASE_TXT and SAY_HELLO_TXT."
Those string codes *always* come in all caps, and with *at least*
