translation pattern

[thendal]

When i try to execute this code i am getting an error

translation pattern not terminated at the file.pl line 13.

Could any of you please help me in getting away this error.



@id=(1,2,3,4,5);
$uid=5;
@vcons=("y","n","y","n","y"

for($i=0;$i<@id;$i++)
{
if(($id[$i]) eq $uid)
{
if($selid eq &quot;ve&quot
{
if($vcons[$i] eq y)
{
# action to be performed to yes condition
}
else
{
# acton performed if it is not yes condition
}

}
}

}



ThanX

Guys i found it,Its because i didn't put within quotes in y(&quot;y&quot

instead &quot;y&quot; i placed y.

is y has special meaning in the perl interpretor.?????

y works the same as tr:
[tt]y/abc/xyz/;[/tt]
is
[tt]tr/abc/xyz/;[/tt]
the y operator is included to look like sed.
