You have your answer, but for future reference your node would have been better if you trimmed the number of items in the array to show just enough cases to make your problem clear, and if your question matched the actual example in the code.

As it stands most browsers will either break your nasty long line in a random place, or not break it at all meaning that a huge amount of scrolling is required to read your node and its replies. Even replying in such a case is a real pain in the butt because the edit box is extreamly wide.

Cleaned up (and fixed) code could look like this:

use strict; use warnings; my @array = ('account_trend', 'trend_report', 'revenuebytrafficker'); my $value = qr'reve.*ker'; foreach (@array) { print "Matched :$_:\n" if /$value/; }

Prints:

Matched :revenuebytrafficker:

It's not clear to me why you had a grep in there. A version using grep is:

use strict; use warnings; my @array = qw(trend_report revenuebytrafficker revengebysmoker); my $value = qr'reve.*ker'; my @matches = grep {/$value/} @array; print ("Matched :" . (join ": :", @matches) . ":\n") if @matches;

Prints:

Matched :revenuebytrafficker: :revengebysmoker:

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.
