Stripping a variable !!!

Hi,

We have a variable like..

my $Hyperlinksrc=="/home/global/safety.asp";

I'm just looking for a code something like below..

$Hyperlinksrc=\/[^home]*;

which will return

$Hyperlinksrc="/global/safety.asp";

Can you please let me know the correct syntax for stripping a variable. I mean the code for "\/[^home]*".

Thanks & Regards,
Nitesh Ambuj

Hi Ambuj,

I think you are looking for this:

my $Hyperlinksrc="/home/global/safety.asp";
$Hyperlinksrc=~ s/\/home//;
print $HyperlinkSrc;

This returns $Hyperlinksrc="/global/safety.asp"

Hi Ambuj,

I think you are looking for this:

my $Hyperlinksrc="/home/global/safety.asp";
$Hyperlinksrc=~ s/\/home//;
print $HyperlinkSrc;

This returns $Hyperlinksrc="/global/safety.asp"

As a minor note - for code clarity - instead of:

$Hyperlinksrc=~ s/\/home//;

Try:

$Hyperlinksrc=~ s|/home||;

Once the 's' is specified, the character immediately following it will be the delimiter. I tend to favor '|' - but it won't work if you're planning to use an 'or' directive, for this reason some people prefer to use '!' or, what is generally described as best practice: '{}' as in:

$Hyperlinksrc=~ s{/home}{};
