Hi Tom,
I was wondering if i use something like
$start_pattern = qr!(.*?)/\*(.*?)|(.*?)//(.*?)!;
if(($match_condition = m/($start_pattern)/) || $continue == 1) {
}
would it work ...
i am getting this error
"Quantifier follows nothing in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/* <--
HERE ?\014*?/ at -e line 111."
This is what i actually want to do find "/*" pattern with anything
before it and after it ..
Regards
Deepak
