hello, while trying to get a grasp on regex i found this nice little tutorial. http://www.steve.gb.com/perl/lesson06.html
so i tried this..
$choice = 11 if($choice =~ /[1-6]{1}/)
this returns true. I want it to only match a single digit ranging 1-6 , I thought the {1} would specifiy to match one time only?? could someone tell me what im doing wrong :) ?
The {1} does tell it to match one time only, match any character 1-6 one time only, but not match only 1 character from 1-6 :-)..., so it matches the first '1' in the string and that is success.
How about,
if ($choice =~ /^[1-6]$/) {
