Apologies all, error in the code I submitted in initial message The code should read

$line='123: ABC/1.0/VAL 111:222:333:444';
$cont='ABC/1.0/VAL 111:222:333:444';
if ($line=~/$cont/) 
{ 
  print "We have a match\n"; 
} 
else

That code returns "We have a match". Although I'm think you hould use \Q and \E in comparison to avoid troubles with other strings. So the code should look like this: `$line='123: ABC/1.0/VAL 111:222:333:444'; $cont='ABC/1.0/VAL 111:222:333:444'; if ($line=~/\Q$cont\E/) { print "We have a match\n"; } else { print "No match\n"; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Try it using quotemata: `$cont='\QABC/1.0/VAL 111:222:333:444\E';` [download] since you're looking for the literal string. rdfield	[reply] [d/l]
