RE: RE: Re: It seems simple...

Sorry, I misread your question the first time (me having posted the first answer).. I think what you want is $string =~ s/[^\w\s]//g;

Cool, that works. Thanks. The question now, though, is why? I know that: `/^\w/` will match any word character at the start of a line and that `/[]/` is character class stuff. Does the ^ actually negate or something similar instead of match the start of a line (in this context, of course)?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Now that I know what to look for, I finally found the explanation in man perlre . Ah, well. someday i'll read that in its entirerty.	[reply]
