hi,

is it possible to match the following characters in perl?
/
*
\

I would like to remove all lines from a file if any of the above characters exist, but obviously they are special pattern matching characters.

any ideas?

cheers

I thought i tried that, but was putting \s for whitespace and forgot to put \s* for multiple whitespace

it now works a treat

thank you
