\n and $ matching seems to be illogical or not fully documented.
Hi all
2 questions:
1. Is this constract:
/something$[^x]somethingelse/m
available in Perl as well?
2. Why should this constract match
something\nsomethingelse
I ask the question because \n does consume one position. I understand that the $ itself does not consume any position, but in that case why do we need it, since
/something[^x]somethingelse/m
should hapily match
something\nsomethingelse
as well.
In essence, I guess that my question is what is the function of the $ assertion when not signaling the start of a string?
