Hello all,

I am using the following to pull a search query from a google search:

( my $search1 ) = $url =~ /q=(.*)/;
my $search = (split '&', $search1)[0];

If the search looks at this string:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=+erika+michelle+barre&btnG=Google+Search

Then my search = +erika+michelle+barre

How would I chop off any funny characters (+, %, -, ...) from the front of the results (and off the end for that mater)

Sometimes there are even +++ before the text I need to get.

Ryan
