Hi all, I'm using a regular expression to rename some files I'm working with. It works well and does exactly what I need.
$name =~ s/(\S+)_(\d+)\.(\S*)$/$2\/videos\/$1\.$3/i; However, I would like to read this pattern from an ini file instead of having it hard coded into the program. So, the code would be modified something like this: $pattern = 's/(\S+)_(\d+)\.(\S*)$/$2\/videos\/$1\.$3/i'; $name =~ $pattern; But this doesn't work. How do I get perl to evaluate $pattern in this context? I also tried... $name =~ qr/$pattern/; ...but that doesn't seem to work either. Any ideas would be much appreciated!
