Hello,
Thanks for all the help this list is providing,

Here is today's problem:


#!/usr/bin/perl

$test = "dave David Davy";

$i=0;


### Does not work.... want to count the number of matches...
$regex=  ($test=~ s/(dav)/$i++ $1/eig);

print "$regex $i\n";

### This does work..
$regex=  ($test=~ s/(dav)/$1 Smith/ig);

print "$regex\n"; 

__END__


It looks like  $regex contains the number of matches,
what I wanted to was capture the modified string

Also can some provide an example of how to use the 'e' switch in
a regrex,

Thanks

Dave
