Need Help??

in reply to Interpolating $1 within a variable

Er, I'm confused:

$_ = q(ab cdefg);
$x = q($1,);
s/(^\w+)/qq("$x")/ee;
print;
[download]

produced:
ab, cdefg

What do you mean by: it worked!, but unfortunately puts "" around regular strings. Any suggestions on how I can interpolate $1 inside of a variable with out any side effects similar to qq("")? What side effects?

What I meant was that when $x=q(ab,); the output was: "ab," cdefg but I found out why it was doing this. I had forgotten to add the extra /e and so I kept running: `perl -le '$_=q(ab cdefg);$x=q(ab,);s/(^\w+)/qq("$x")/e;print;'` [download] But the problem is fixed now. Thank you monks. -tengo mas que aprender	[reply] [d/l]
