Monks, I have one question realated to translation.
I have read the following from an online material.
The c option (c is for "complement") translates all characters that are not specified. For example, the statement
$string =~ tr/\d/ /c;
replaces everything that is not a digit with a space.
But when i tried the following i am getting the following output than what i expected.
$a = 'acvdef431234';
$a =~ tr/\d/ /c;
print "$a";
output: d
expected output: 431234
But if i used [0-9] it is working good.
$a = 'acvdef431234';
$a =~ tr/[0-9]/ /c;
print "$a";
output: 431234
I am in total confusion. Could anyone explain whats going on there.
Regards,
Anniyan

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.
