Home: Perl Programming Help: Beginner: $$$$'s that just won't print.

AlanBell Deleted Jan 2, 2000, 9:11 PM Post #1 of 5 (2868 views) $$$$'s that just won't print. Can't Post I made the mistake of adding this little problem on the end of the "or" question. It was just asking to be ignored. Here it is again. When I try to print an expression that includes a "$" sign, it doesn't print. I tried substituting "&36;" but this didn't work either. Thanks for the last reply. I like the idea of many ways to solve a problem. Alan

[In reply to] Can't Post Alan: It sounds like you're a victim of variable interpolation, which simply means that Perl thinks your use of the $ represents a variable, and not that you want to actually print the dollar sign. Try placing a backslash before the dollar sign, like this: \$22.00 If this doesn't do the trick, please post the code that you're using as well as the output. -Jasmine

I also checked out your tutorial on variables. This is the level of information that I need. The help files I have been reading assume that I already know the basic building blocks. Hopefully, I can now live without your advice for a while. It has been much appreciated. My only regret is that I didn't find this forum earlier. All good things, Alan PS Thanks to Scott also.
