Dear Monks
Problem:
Im trying to pre-compile a couple of patterns (Regular expression) and match it into the given text.
Done so far:
I have tried doing this without pre-compiled regex, which work perfectly
$text="I have a problem with pre-compiled regex";
@words=qw(have regex);
for $a(@words)
{
while ($text =~ m/$a/g)
{
print "Found $&\n";
}
}
Stuck with:
Now when I wanted to pre-compile these patterns (have, regex) and match with $text, I don't get the expected result. I have posted the script which doesn't work, below.
$text="I have a problem with pre-compiled regex";
@words=qw(qr/have/ qr/regex/);
for $a(@words)
{
while ($text =~ /$a/g)
{
print "Found $&\n";
}
}

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
