Re: searching problem

I was thinking of something along these lines:

#!/usr/bin/perl -l

BEGIN {
    $|  = 1;
    $^W = 1;
}

use strict;
use warnings;
use List::MoreUtils 'any';

my($string) = q(mamy dady bal foo bar);

my(@allwords) = split(" ", $string, 0);
my($revwords) = join(" ", reverse(@allwords));
my(@strings_list) = scalar reverse $revwords;

my $match = any( 
    sub { /^ymam*/}, @strings_list,
);

print "match" if $match;
print "no match" unless $match;

`my($string) = q(mamy dady bal foo bar);` Your wordlist doesn't contain anything that will match what the OP requested. `my(@strings_list) = scalar reverse $revwords;` This will put all the words into the first element of @strings_list so there is no need to use any(). Would have been much simpler to just reverse the original string and then split it into an array. `my $rev = reverse $string; my @strings = split ' ', $rev; print join ',',@strings;` [download] `sub { /^ymam/}, @strings_list,` ^ymam will match 0 or more 'm's after yma which is not going to work. The * is not needed here.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

^ymam* will match 0 or more 'm's after yma which is not going to work. The * is not needed here.
