Hello everyone, I have the following regular expressions that I'm performing on a block of text and was wondering if anyone saw a way to consolidate the 9 regex's into a few?
$ko =~ s/\r/\\page/g; # change returns to \page $ko =~ s/\f//g; # remove formfeeds $ko =~ s/\t/\\tab/g; # change tabs to \tab $ko =~ s/\\\\/\\/g; # escape backslashes $ko =~ s/{/\\{/g; # escape left curly $ko =~ s/}/\\}/g; # escape right curly $ko =~ s/\n/\n\\par /g; # replace newlines with \n\par $ko =~ s/\\par\s+\n\\par\s+\n\\par\s+\n+/\\par \n/migs; # cosolidate "blank" lines $ko =~ s/\\f0\\fs22\n\\page/\\f0\\fs22\n\\par /migs; # remove first page break This is not so much for laziness, but is more for learning what/how to consolidate. Any suggestions are appreciated.
