I have a program needing with the following array:
@LINES = qw( #any line from file here
);
That at the present time I want to do the following:
foreach $line (@LINES){
$line =~ s/$line/$CONSTANT_MOD_LINE/
}
The goal is that a user can put a line from an output file into the array,
and my program will take the line and essentially comment out any lines in
all files that contain the user's selected line... however, my original idea
was to do this using regular expressions and since some lines have a or
multiple period(s) or asteric(s) the reg exp is giving me some trouble...
any ideas on how to change ordinary text, especially periods and asterics
into reg exp friendly characters?
