Hi,
I use the following regexp to remove all unwanted characters (ord 0..31)
my $startCh = chr(0);
my $endCh = chr(31);
$text =~ s/[$startCh-$endCh]//g;
This works fine, but I want to preserve the newlines (ord 10). Is there any way to specify elements in the regexp which should NOT be included in the specified range?
I know I could do
$startCh = chr(0);
$endCh = chr(9);
$text =~ s/[$startCh-$endCh]//g;
$startCh = chr(11);
$endCh = chr(31);
$text ==~ s/[$startCh-$endCh]//g;
but then I run into problems when I want to exclude another character.
TIA!

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).
