I am looking for: ab1 in line1 and looking for: ab2 in line 2 actually ab1 and ab2 immediately follow the last "/" (there are numerous "/" on the line (w/o quotes))
These are not working. can some explain what these say and what they should say (syntax) to return the results I'm looking for: if ab1/ab2 are in the line, return true. /^[^\#]*ab1/,@lines /^[^\#]*ab2/,@lines Thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
