( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Hello Monks, i am new to perl programming. i am trying to write a program to find number of occurence of '\' in an array file path. I tried the follwing code,
@list = "C:\username\Sources"; foreach $arrchar (@list) { print "array char = $arrchar"; if($_ = /\\/) { print "\nfound one \n"; } }
but it was not working, i mean it is not printng "found one". but errors = 0 please excuse my ignorance if my code is wrong. Reading the manual is confusing me further.. can anyone please help me with the code?

Thanks,

Kumeperl

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

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.
