Perl string manipulation
There are two main forms for regex, and they are “match” and “substitute” and they look like this:
# Just match on a pattern.
m/pattern/;
and
# Match on pattern, and replace any matches found with ‘replacement’
s/pattern/replacement/;
(Strangely enough, the “m” stands for “match” and the “s” for “substitute”.
