Re: [Wlug] Perl puzzle

Did you try escaping the comma? On 3/1/06, douglas.r.aker@verizon.com <douglas.r.aker@verizon.com> wrote:

Hi.

I've been spending far too much time trying to accomplish a (seemingly) simple thing: use a Perl substitution operation to replace, a comma followed by a space followed by a single double-quote with a single double-quote.

The obvious s/, "/"/g doesn't work, nor does escaping the double-quotes, as in s/, \"/\"/g

I must have tried dozens of variations. RE's can be tough at times. Late last night I had to admit defeat.

Any ideas?
