i am writing a code where i have to find version associated with the name from a file. i am trying below code but the pattern match is not working. the file /home/test.txt contains multiple entries like below:

Anls/01.00/windows abc/02.00/windows core/03.00/windows route/04.00/windows . . .
my $file = "/home/test.txt"; if (-e $file) { my @list = ("Anls", "core", "route"); open(FH, '<', $file) or die $!; foreach my $x (@list) { while(<FH>){ my $pattern; if (defined($pattern) && ($pattern =~ /$x\/(.*)\/(.* +)/)) { my $version = $1; print "$x: $version\n"; } } } close(FH); }
