Anyone here good with Perl?
Here's the question:
I have a field that is read from a flat file and assigned a $name in some code.
So, let's say the flat file looks like this:
Monkey_Brains1.00Brown
Naturally, the first field is "Monkey_Brains"
The second field is "1.00"
The third field is "Brown"
The first field is assigned a variable, we'll call it:
$name
Now here's what I would like to do. All the fields in the $name spot have an underscore '_' between each word. I would like code that could read this field and strip the underscore out. So "Monkey_Brains" would be come "Monkey Brains"
In essence:
$name would equal "Monkey_Brains"
Then some code that reads and modifies $name
$modifiedname would now equal "Monkey Brains"
Many Thanks,
Pete

$name = "Monkey_Brains";
$name =~ s/_/ /; # substitution operator
print $name;
