in reply to Re^2: Removing a string-element from an array of strings
in thread Removing a string-element from an array of strings

This seems to be a continuation of the thread about parsing man pages. (HELP! I am in regex-hell)

Your post is hard to read because of missing <code> tags!

(If you had logged in you'd be capable to edit and fix it.)

Anyway my guess is that you need quotemeta resp. \Q because parens () are metacharacters in regexes, which need to be escaped.
