Simon Harve #1 / 4	Which characters need escaping list? Hi there guys, Does anyone know where I could get a list of which characters need to be escaped out of strings when using perl. I searched on google with quite few combinations of words but came up empty. I'm still looking but does anyone have any ideas? Mucho Gracias in advance friends! Kind regards Simon -- If at first you don't succeed - destroy any evidence that you tried!

There are different quoting contexts in Perl, and they interpret different backslash escapes (if that is what you mean). So a single list wouldn't do. Use "perldoc perlop" and look for quote-like operators for a comprehensive description. Also look at the quotemeta() function. That quotes all characters that may need quoting in any context, but it doesn't say in what context (if any) the quoting is needed. Anno

Davi #4 / 4	Which characters need escaping list? If in doubt Escape. Obviously "\d" is completely different than "d", but there are no special meanings to escaped special characters, so you can escape every special character with a lack of repercussions.
