Ben Win Lue has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi, followers of the right belief, I have a nine character string that contains three columns of 3 characters and I have to find two strings in the string. Ok, lets say I have to find 'abc' and 'xyz'
'abcmmmnnn' has to result true (abc is found in first column) I can do it the easy way by splitting the string into substrings and doing 6 single eq or doing 2 greps in an array of the substrings. But is there a cool regex way? Thank you for your attention
