RE: how to regex or

[Tim Johnson]

Then maybe I'm not understanding what you're asking.  Take the following
example:


###############

my $string = "him||her||him||her";
$string =~ s/\|\|/ or /g;
print $string;

###############

The output is "him or her or him or her"

Is that not what you're asking?

Tim,

Yes, but does not do the job.

Thanks,

Jerry

Have you tried this?

s/\|\|/ or /g;

Hi!

I am trying to swap all the '||' in a string to or:  
      s/||/ or /g;

I have tried it a number of ways, but I am getting no where.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jerry
