I would just like to thank everyone on this list for all their help...I did figure this out on my own. But all of your help has been great.
Thanks.

A few things... If ($var1 =~ /\b$var2?\b/I) { ^^ it should be "if" not "If" If ($var1 =~ /\b$var2?\b/I) { ^ The switch is "i" not "I" Print "cannot contain that word.\n"; ^^^^^ the "p" in print is lower case (are you using Win32::ASP?) if ($var1 =~ /\b$var2?\b/i) { ^ What is this for? Is the last char optional? If $var1='foo' and $var2='foof', this would be a true statement. Is that what you wanted?

I am trying to match a word in a string. I am using to variables here is my small piece of code that should be doing this. If ($var1 =~ /\b$var2?\b/I) { Print "cannot contain that word.\n"; } Only for some reason it isn't working. Any help is greatly appreciated.
