Hi All,
I am truing to use a variable inside a regex.
This work (without the variable):
$ p6 'my $x="6937-2.2.19882.exe"; if $x ~~ m/ .*? <<:\N**4>> "-"
(.*?) ".exe" / {say "yes";}'
yes
I want to turn `<<:\N**4>>` into a variable:
$ p6 'my $x="6937-2.2.19882.exe"; my $i="<<:\\N**4>>"; if $x ~~ m/
.*? $i "-" (.*?) ".exe" / {say "yes";}else{say "No"}; say "$i";'
No
<<:\N**4>>
The double \\ is to get it past bash
What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks,

never mind. It got just a bit too goofy. I switched
to .contains and sent myself a tag as to when the
first bunch was a random 4 digit number.
