Using Grep to search through an array ? Posted by smithce (smithce), 21 July 2005 HiNot sure if I am barking mad ![]() I am trying to use 'grep' to compare my variable with the elements in the array ...is this possible ? @released = qw(WP0028 WP001B); if (grep /^$rel1$/, @released) { print "Result = $rel1\n"; } Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 21 July 2005 That approach should work ... the grep function returns a list of all the matches and if you use it in a scalar content (such as within an if statement) then you'll get back the number of matches.Translating your Perl into English: "If the regular expession xxx matches any of the elements of the list @yyyyy, print that the result = xxxxx" This page is a thread posted to the opentalk forum
