I have the following bit of code:
if ($i =~ m/[ -~]/)
{
$rhs .= $i;
}
else
{
$rhs .= ".";
}
When I run it through a loop processing a string like "hello\nthere" it prints the following:
hello
there
rather than
hello.there
as I would except.
I thought that the regex -~ would result in the range of ASCII characters from a space (ascii 32) through the tilde (ascii 126). A newline is ascii 10 so I thought I should get a "." for the newline.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

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).
