Hi, In one of my scripts I do a search and replace like this :
$text =~ s/$search/$replace/; This works fine, but if $search or $replace contains one or more words between round brackets () it doesn't what I had in mind : $text = "This is a text (with brackets)..."; $rearch = "(with brackets)"; $replace = "without brackets"; $text =~ s/$search/$replace/; print $text; If I run this example it prints : This is a text (without brackets)... Where did I go wrong ? Kind regards, Rene Verharen Please DO NOT reply to me personally. I'll get my copy from the list. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
