Hi. The problem is that the second part of the substitution (HI) is not taken as a regex, but as a string, which is to mean that you're trying to replace "\n" with "HI\n".
If you were using s/ (\n) /HI/xisg; instead, you wouldn't have that problem. Now that we've been through the problem, let me tell you about an easier way to do it: s/\n/HI/g; There :-) Much simpler, isn't it? :-) Regards jac On Mon, 2004-05-03 at 10:30, Durai wrote: > Hello All, > > I am having the following lines of code to remove "\n" from string. > > $_="Hi. \n This is test string"; > s/ > (\n) > /HI > /xisg; > > print; > > I expected the output like: > > Hi.
