Re: string search

If you're just doing plain substring matching then index() might be a simpler option

if(index($source, 'no such file') != -1) {
    print "Found it \n";
}

`index` is case sensitive. You'll probably want to say `if(index(lc $source, 'no such file') != -1) { print "Found it \n"; }` [download] to normalise `$source` into lower case.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
