Re: regexp issues

[Jos I. Boumans]

This is most definately not the same...

\w is equivalent to [A-Za-z0-9_]

there's a basic regexp tutorial here:
http://japh.nu/index.cgi?base=regexes

it also deals with (custom made) character classes, special symbols in
regexps etc,
maybe it's beneficial to you.

 Also, [a-zA-Z] can be replaced with \w, which does the same thing.

So, you have

$name =~ /^\w+$/
