Hello monks...

Yesterday you helped me with some problem and I was able to solve it, thanks.

Now I have a question:
Is there a way to check if a line has a word of an array(that has a different number of words) using regexp?...

Some example:

my @query = ('red', 'blue', 'white');

my $line = "That is a blue wall";

My goal is to check trough the @query ans see if any word is in $line. Considering that I will not know the values in @query.

At the moment Im using a foreach() loop, that Im hoping to kill with a one liner: 

foreach my $query(@query){
  next if $query eq '';
        print "I found: $query" if $line =~ /\Q$query/;
     }

Thanks...
