Re: Capturing occurrence counts via tr/// with variable interpolation

in reply to Capturing occurrence counts via tr/// with variable interpolation

Use $ans = @{[ $str =~ m/$SrchStr/g ]}; and forget about using eval.

Your $SrchStr, say, if want to find occurances of 'a' and 'z', should be "[az]".

The other idiom for getting the count from m// is `$ans = () = $str =~ m/$SrchStr/g;` [download] Caution: Contents may have been coded under pressure.	[reply] [d/l]
