Yes, here you go. Let's suppose you want to write a small grep programs that
only prints all lines ending with the character "\". You can write:
[code]
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
while (my $line = <>)
{
# Remove the optional trailing newline character.
chomp($line);
# If $line ends with a backslash - print it.
if ($line =~ m{\\\z})
{
print "$line\n";
}
}
[/code]
Hope it helps.
