I was trying the following code :
open ( fh , "test1.txt"); while (<fh>) { $string = "the lucky coin"; if ($string =~ m/(\b)the(\s)(\b)lucky(\s)(\b)coin(\b)$/) { print "Yup,exists.\n"; } else { print "nope \n"; } } But the results are not as expected.
I was thinking of the following :
search for "the" then ignore blank spaces,tabs,newlines and look for "lucky" .If found then also print the next word which will be lucky .Is there no pipes in perl ?
