Simple Exact string match Posted by hugo_owen (hugo_owen), 3 October 2006 I'm trying to match an exact string but the following matches similar strings:- I've tried the following:if ( $string =~ /^j66711$/) This also matches j6671 and many others - I just want to match the string EXACTLY. Cheers for any help. Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 3 October 2006 Odd - with ^ on the start and $ on the end it should work ....However, for an exact string match you can write if ($string eq 'j66711') ... and that will match exactly without using regular expressions.
