Can't edit code snippets anymore?

[KevinADC]

I had a need to read one of the code snippets I posted a while back (perl) and noticed the syntax highlighter has screwed up the code I posted by adding an extra backslash making the snippet no good. I thought I would just try and edit the snippet but there is no longer an edit link like there used to be. What to do?

Due to abuse, the edit button only lasts for up to 30 minutes after you post to fix typos, etc. Please PM the code change to myself or any software dev moderator and we'll fix it for you. Or you can just post it in this thread if that's easier. However, if the highlighter screwed up the code, then it might be related to a bug, so I want to look into it ...

well it appears to add an extra \:

my $string = ' Mary had a little lamb. ';
$string =~ s/^\\s+//; #remove leading spaces
$string =~ s/\\s+$//; #remove trailing spaces
print $string;

should be (and it was)

my $string = ' Mary had a little lamb. ';
$string =~ s/^\s+//; #remove leading spaces
$string =~ s/\s+$//; #remove trailing spaces
print $string;

seems to be OK here though:

my $string = '  Mary had a little lamb.  ';
$string =~ s/^\s+//; #remove leading spaces
$string =~ s/\s+$//; #remove trailing spaces
print $string;

these snippets need to be edited to change all instances of double back-slashes (\\) to single back-slashes (\)

new snippets appear to be OK, this test can be deleted:
