Your error messages say what is wrong. The syntax @foo =~ m/$re/ does not do what you want it to.

You should look at each line separately and try the lookup with each. I'd be inclined to use the index builtin instead of regex matching, since you have the particular number you want to look for. Here's what I'd do, sticking close to what you wrote,

# after getting @number my $wanted = '9432'; for (@number[0..99]) { if (index($_, $wanted) != -1) { print "match found\n"; } else { print "match failed\n"; } }
There are a couple of things there you may not have seen before. I used an array slice to limit the number of items searched, where you used a while loop. The other is the index function itself.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
