`$var =~ s/%ad/$temp/g` What did you try?	[reply] [d/l]

I suggest this node on asking questions effectively. Unless tanktalus really has hit on your basic issue, in which case, congratulations on your economy of means (though I still think you'd be well-served by making your question more explicit). ----------------- _{s''limp';@p=split '!','n!h!p!';s,m,s,;$s=y;$c=slice @p1;so brutally;d;$n=reverse;$c=$s**$#p;print(''.$c^chop($n))while($c/=$#p)>=1;}	[reply]

Well, we can make guesses at what you mean. But a little sample code like the following would allow us to answer your actual question rather than any one of the many we could invent for you. `use strict; use warnings; my $temp = 'Plugh'; my $str = <<STR; To %ad or not to %ad, that is the question. Oh %ad on you. STR $str =~ s/%ad/$temp/g; print $str;` [download] Prints: `To Plugh or not to Plugh, that is the question. Oh Plugh on you.` [download] If that isn't the answer to the question you were intending, please alter the sample code to illustrate what you really want to know. You ought to read I know what I mean. Why don't you? BTW. It was written for you. Update: fix cut and paste problem DWIM is Perl's answer to Gödel	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I guess you meant either `my $temp = 'xyzzy';` [download] or `To Plugh or not to Plugh. that is the question. Oh Plugh on you.` [download] Perhaps that should be "Oh plague on cut and paste" :-) Cheers, JohnGG	[reply] [d/l] [select]
