Regex string substitution and capture groups
#1
nimaimalle
I'm trying to do something like this, but I'm getting a literal "$1" substituted instead of the value of the capture group.
if $data =~ s/(\[[^\]]+\])/"$1"/g log_info($1);
$data ends up containing a "$1" while the log_info statement correctly logs the value of captured group $1.
Is there a way to use s/// and capture groups in the substitution? I also tried \1 and \\1.

That's not supported currently but it's on the roadmap.
