in reply to match pattern from two different file

This is syntax error
if # you forgot some parens here, like someone said { $line1=~ /^$pattern/; $line2=~ /^$pattern/; $line1==$line2; { print $line1; } }
Also
my $pattern='/^LOC_Os0[1-7]g[0-9]*.[0-9]\s'; ... $line1=~ /^$pattern/; # $line1 (and 2) will expand to smth like /^^LOC_0s.../, which is prob +ably not what you want. Try my $pat = qr/^LOC_0s.../ $line1 =~ $pat;

    I mean patterns, not lines, will expand to that. They will start with double ^. That is a regex error.

      I remove the if condition and change it pattern according to u .it runs but result is not as it should be. the whole file comes as output
