You need to escape the $ in the regex: $string =~ s/\$//; -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Falkenberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 5:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Strip $ from variable
Hello All, I was just wondering how I would go about stripping the $ sign from the following string? $string = "$20.90"; $string =~ s/$//; <-- I figured this would work fine? Any ideas?
