Re^7: How can I expand my substring?

[Corion]

You could play around with the length $1 expression and try to limit that, but I'm not sure what corner cases would be relevant.

See perlop on how s///e works.

Thanks again, is it possible to break your code down a bit?
Like in using more lines I mean, so I can then use and if clause in limiting the length $1 as you suggest...

[Corion]

Sorry, but I won't do your programming for you.

I am very sorry, I did not mean at any point that you should write the code for me...I was just wondering if you would be kind enough to re-write your substitution statements in more lines instead of 1. Then I would be able to insert the if clause and restrain the expanding to +-200 that I want, that's all...
