Hi Lou,
You've got your variables around backwards. For that to match you need:
$regexp = 'French';
$variable = 'French:6:47';
if ($variable =~ /$regexp/) {
print "This works\n";
}
BTW, this mailing list is specifically for CGI::Application issues,
and it's members will generally refer you to something like Perl
Monks for general perl questions like this one.

I am trying to match
French
in the string
French:6:47
The code is
if ($PFile{Allied} =~ m/$Port/)
and the actual vars would be
if (French =~ m/French:6:47/)
and there should be a match!!!!
but
but it doesn't work.. and I don't see why....
I have used m// before the never had this problem...
Help? thanks
Lou
Perl is my HOBBY... just something to keep my mind sharp.
