Term used to describe a character
or characters that perform a function;
for example, "\n" is often used as a meta-character for a
new line
and "\t" is often used to represent a tab.
Meta-characters are often used in computer
programming
to match the meta-characters. For example, in the below example, the
below Perl
regular expression
would locate any new lines and delete
them to combine
all the data.
$data =~ s/\n//;
