If I have a string that has the following... $string = "Hello world how are you?"; How would I go about stripping the words 'how' and 'Hello' ignoring case each time? Would it go something like the following... $string =~ s/.*hello/how\//gi; Thx, Da -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
