Hi, I'm trying to isolate text in a string. My string is typically of the form: sometext["moretext",
I would like to isolate moretext. I tried: #!/usr/bin/perl -w my $string = 'sometext["moretext",'; print $string; my $snippet; ($snippet, $snippet) = split(/$string/,\[,2); print "$snippet\n"; I don't seem to be able to escape the [ in the split function, so two questions: 1. How do I escape the [? 2. What would be a better way to approach this problem?
