Hi I want to search some logs and have the created the below, but match fails. (newish to scripting) The text is similar to the below, and I want to match on current date (no time) and then on ERROR or WARN Example text 2017-01-04 08:14:19,753 - 08:14:19,752 WARN 2017-01-04 08:14:19,753 - 08:14:19,752 ERROR Its not matching, but does if I use just the date, What I want is the date anything in between and then on the ERROR or WARN, if anyone can shed some light that would be good or an easier way. Thanks Dee 

 
MyVariables
$MYFOLDER = "/tmp/logs"
#Severity Levels
$SLEVEL1 = "ERROR";
$SLEVEL2 = "WARN";

#Mycustom Date - this gives  2017-01-04
$datestring = strftime "%Y-%m-%d", localtime; 


#MyMatches Pattern
#$match1 = "^$datestring\s+\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2},\d{3}\s+-\s+\d{2}:\d{2}:\
+d{2},\d{3}\s+$SLEVEL1";


sub MyScanLogs {
  @files = `find $MYFOLDER -name "*.log"`;
    foreach $file(@files) {
     open FILE, "$file" or die "Unable to open files";
        while(<FILE>) {
          
            if ($_ =~ /$match1/) {
                print "$file $_\n";
               
                 }
                     }
           }
    }
