Hi Yary, in the first example you've got a WhateverCode, but in the second one you're actually just passing a string to subst, i.e. you're evaluating $0 before subst is even called.
Check this as well: > raku -e '"whoa" ~~ /(.)/; say \'fosdffgg\'.subst(/(f+)/,"( $0 )", :g)' > ( w )osd( w )gg Hope that helps - Timo On 19/04/2020 23:53, yary wrote: > Question from today's Raku meetup.
