Hi everyone,
Sorry for asking this question again for what must be the umpteenth time but I have a problem with
the g modifier when matching. I have read Newsgroup Postings about this topic including:
"What good is \G in a regular expression?"
G is likely best for s/// syntax as there is a better (?:test) for pattern matching in general:
$_ = "I match it All, so you dont have to";
s%a%_%ig;
print "$_";
you get I m_tch it _ll, so you dont h_ve to
G just causes the match to match everywhere the pattern is to be found. But NOT beyond the end of the line (\n) which is a logical record separator...
