Hello, can you guys show me how to convert each non-alphanumeric character in a string to a space, and then convert any number of consecutive spaces in the string to a single space? If I need to specify exactly which characters I want converted to spaces, I'd be happy with just the "." character.
Hi Grant. $text =~ s/[^[:alnum:]]/ /g; $text =~ s/\s+/ /g; will do what you want. Rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
