Re: how to to find the "/" in a string

[philiprbrenan]

Here is a start. The regular expression gets the size of the array returned by the regular expression, which uses () to enclose the text to be searched for and /g to find all the occurences.

use feature ":5.14";
use warnings FATAL => qw(all);
use strict;

my $h = "aaa bbb ccc aaa aaa";
say scalar (() = $h=~m(aaa)g);
