Escaping @ symbol inside a regular expression
Message ID:

I have a pattern like s/\b\@interrupt\b//gi; This doesn't remove the
word @interrupt.
from my input data
"@interrupt void interrupt_handler(void)"
 
If I don't escape @, I get a warning "Possible unintended interpolation
of @interrupt in string".
Can anyone help me regarding this?
 
Cheers,
Raja
