1. Re: pattern matching
Hi David!
I'd be happy to help in any small way I might. Can you explain what
exactly you are trying to do with your matching below? There are lots and
lots of 'wildcards' in Perl, and they have varying degrees of specificity.
Give me a little more of an explanation of what you want below and I'll come
up with something for you.
Cheers!
