$test =~ s{ (.*?) [(] (.*?) [)] }
{<a href="$2" alt="$2">$1</a>}xmsg;
Just a .02 via an FYI :)
That looks pretty cool. Using 'x' allows whitespace use, correct?
Correct.
And 'm' and 's' are ways of telling Perl how to interpret a line, right?
The /m option defines what the ^ and $ anchors match but you aren't using
those anchors. The /s option defines what . matches so your regular
expression will match something different than before.
Good catch :) Although "Best Practice" recommends xms all the time so
that you get used to writing it/writing for it. Sorry I forgot to
mention th . difference
Can you tell me what the function of the square-brackets are for regexps?
How are they different than regular parens?
'[' and ']' define a character class, but you don't really need a character
class in your example.
Again, just recommending "Best Practice" :)
