y/// Operator in Perl
What is y/// Operator in Perl?
Explanation
The y/// Operator is used to transliterate string.
Syntax:
y/search list/replace list/options;
In the above syntax, "search list" is the string to be searched for, "replace list" is the string to be replaced, "options" are optional arguments.
Example :
#! C:programfilesperlbinperl
print "content-type: text/htmlnn";
$string = 'maurice mike is the father of morris mike';
$string =~ y/abcde/ABCDE/;
print $string;
Result :
mAuriCE mikE is thE fAthEr of morris mikE
In the above y/// Operator for transliterate string example the smaller case string "abcde" is replaced with uppercase "ABCDE" in the string.
