HELP!!Regex to match boundary from a range and substitute characters
|
|
|
Hi guys I am a beginner and I need help with this problem.
I am trying to this question.
Search for all names which second character of their first name is in the range of a-i. And it will substitute all beginning L’s with Z’s.
The file is entered into an empty array from the command line. My problem is that I cant seem to devise a way to get the proper regex into the if statement.
Here is the code i have so far.
Here is the file containing text that is read into the empty array.

#!/usr/bin/perl
@phone = (<>);
foreach $item (@phone)
{
if ($item =~ /([a-i])\b/)
{
print $item;
}
}
Thanks for any help in advance =)
