Hey, I have a slight dilemma which i'm struggling to overcome. Wondering if anyone has any ideas on this..
I have a variable, for example's sake, say $variable. $variable has a load of entries. $variable = "danneh blah dan etc danster"; What i want to do, without having to set the entire string to an array, loop through it, compare etc, is to remove the single entry "dan", and leave the other 2 entries with "dan" contained in them in tact. I used to use $remove = "dan"; $variable =~ s/\Q$remove//g; with & without the g at the end. But the problem with that was it would remove the dan from danneh and danster too, leaving $variable = "neh blah etc ster"; any clue how this may be possible? Thanks in advance.
