Hello everyone, I am having a bit of trouble with getting arrow keys to work with regular expressions.
Readmode(4);
my $input = lc(ReadKey(0));
if ($input =~ m/left arrow key here/)
{
goto LEFT;
}
elsif ($input =~ m/right arrow key here/)
{
goto RIGHT;
}
I have tried the \x switch for matching the hex code, and no luck. I also tried \0 switch for matching octal, and still no luck. I can get other keys like escape to work, but not the right or left arrow keys. Any ideas?

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).
