I am working on a lengthy Farsi text with the help of a perl script which has slowly grown into a great tool.

But some patterns refuse to budge and I am totally clueless what to do.

Original text

متی

starting at position 1 and ending the line with a return.

My regex

s/^متی$/<title>$&<\/title>/;
This looks right to me. I verified that it works as I expect on this email, with:
perl -p -e 's/^متی$/<title>$&<\/title>/;' < email.txt

This should match the against the contents of $_, with ^ and $ anchoring the beginning and end of content of $_. Perhaps, $_ contains something that you don't expect (like one word at a time.)


finds all lines with the word at whatever in sentence position - instead of picking only lines with the single word متی on the line.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Peter
