Hi, I need help breaking out of a loop and going to a else statement if I can't find a string in a file. The 'yum_sorted.log' file is a list of new pkgs. I want to see if each pkg in the yum_sorted.log file is in the git_sorted file; if it's a match, move on to the next pkg name. If after slurping the whole git_sorted.log file that a pkg is not there, I want it to go to a else statement and print "Pkg is not there in the git_sorted.log file!"
#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; my $git_dir = "/tmp/yum_sorted.log"; open(DIR,$git_dir) or die "Really bad!$!"; my @yum = <DIR>; foreach my $line ( @yum ) { open(IN_GIT, "/tmp/git_sorted.log") or die "Really, re +ally bad $!"; my @in_git = <IN_GIT>; foreach my $x ( @in_git ) { if ( $line =~ $x ) { print "We found a match: $line\n"; } }
### # Thanks in advance!
