Regexp question

[jonnybongas]

I have a variable like the one below. It contains nested braces pair. I'd like to create a regexp that changes the variable value to the string "hello world". Can anyone help with me this?

$test = "hello
{{ text
{{innerbrace}}
some text
{{innerbrace2}}
some text
}} world";


//John

Hi

To do exactly what you asked for the following is enough :

$test=~s/\{.*\}//s;
$test=~s/\n//;

But I think this is not all and you would like to specify more requirements.

Hi Johnny,

Based off the requirements that you've stated thus far, the easiest and most direct solution would be:

$test =~ s/.*/hello world/s;

I presume that this is not what you're really wanting to do though. What are you trying to learn?
