I am using the following section of code to search a sub string to see a word is present:
for(my $i=0; $i<22; $i++){<WORKFLOW>}; #This will put you at row 23.---- $_=<WORKFLOW>; my $line=$_; print substr($line, 42, 7); It returns: Running----- which it should but if I use the following statment it always fails. Can you see the problem with this if statement? if (substr($line, 42, 7) eq'"Running"') #if statment to see if "Running" is present { while (<WORKFLOW>) { #Just to output some data to test chomp; #a) my $line=$_; print STDERR "\nline: $line"; } } else { #send email } </code> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
