Let me be more clear and correct myself:
What I was actually trying was this:
$my_variable =~ s/n/e-9/;
where the variable $my_variable has this in it: 3.5n
and I was hoping to change it to:
3.5e-9
when I read-in the data and do the following (below) on $_
s/n/e-9/;
it works!
But if I do it like this:
$my_variable =~ s/n/e-9/;
The n is removed but not replaced by the e-9
Thanks
