Re: Regex: Changing $1

[space_monk]

Try

open (FH,"test.test") or die;

while(<FH>) {
    if ($_ =~ /"(.+?)"/) {
       print "Matched: $1\n";
       s/$1/New string/;
    }
    print;
}

P.S. You can make a one liner out of this

[hdb]

Is problematic if $1 also matches outside of the quotes, e.g. test "test".

[choroba]

Only works if $1 does not contain any special characters. Prepend \Q to "quote" all the special characters in $1.
