dont know if this helps, but the following code $one = "ExamPle"; $two = "example";
if ($one=~/$two/i) { print "true "; } print "false"; outputs: true false (ie evaluates the expression in the curly braces) and if you change the top word to ExanPle (change the m to n) then it only outputs: false Hope that is of some help :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
