What code have you already written?

Personally, I would extract the "special" symbols and their surrounding whitespace from the first sentence and then replace the elements accordingly in the second sentence:

my %symbols = ( '/' => [], '*' => [], '-' => [], ); $_= "This is a perl script/program."; push @{ $symbols{ '/' }}, m!(\s*[/]\s*)!; push @{ $symbols{ '*' }}, m!(\s*[*]\s*)!; push @{ $symbols{ '-' }}, m!(\s*[-]\s*)!; my $target= "C'est un perl script / programme"; $target =~ s!\s*([/*-])\s*!shift $symbols{ $1 }!ge;

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
