Thanks guys, that helped alot!!!
what about doing something like this:
if ($slurp =~ /"defaultusername"="(.+)"/i) {
$usr = $1;
}
else {
print "no defualtusername entry!! for $file";
}
if ($slurp =~ /"defaultpassword"="(.+)"/i) {
$pass = $1;
}
else {
print "No default password entry!!!!";
}as part of a larger script is that safe? becuase the $pass and $usr would be processed in the Larger part of the script. ?
thoughts?
and thanks!

I am trying to Compare 2 strings for an if statement in an admin script. $slurp is an entire file, and $file is a name.

$slurp =~ /"defaultusername"="(.+)"/i; $usr = $1; print "printing the value of the test var: $usr\n"; if ($file = $usr){ print "username: $file;
