Hello people,
 
I have a few regular expressions from a script that I am trying to update
and needed some assistance with what the expression mean:
 
===============================
while(<GWTABLE>){
next if (/^#/);
next if (/^$/);
$match = 1;
 
I'm trying to understand the second and third line.
===============================
The script has this line in a few places. Can't seem to find any doco that
would explain what it means:
 
s(\n)();
===============================
 
s/\n$//;
 
===============================
(!/^$/)||next;
(!/^#/)||next;
 
Any assistance is greatly appreciated
 
Regards
Pritesh
