Hi, I'm fairly new to perl and having a little problem.
I want to delete a word from a phrase. My problem is that the word is contained in square brackets. The phrase looks something like this : [Deletethis] And some other words I tried to use something like this to delete the word between (and including) the brackets, but it doesn't work : my $phrase = "[Deletethis] And some other words"; my $wordtodelete = "[Deletethis]; $phrase =~ s/$wordtodelete//; NOTE THIS ! : $phrase and $wordtodelete actually are defined somewhere else in the script. Who can help ? Rene [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
