Re: Expression Help

I think both in sed and perl you can use any symbols you wish to delineate
the RegEx. # works, but / is traditionally used in Perl.
That is to say, in Perl these two lines are the same:

$in =~ s/C:\\Dir 1\\Dir 2\\Dir with more spaces/replacement/;
$in =~ s#C:\\Dir 1\\Dir 2\\Dir with more spaces#replacement#;

And, yeah, there ought to be a trailing i to make it case insensitive.
