Hi, I am confused because of Perls efficiency to search for strings that match. Now I would like to restrict this search for exact string: I am looking for string as last word of row 
($m='"' and $names[$k] here search string)

: "out.h". Perl is finding also strings like "macout.h", "rowout.h" and so on. I would appreciate If anyone could tell how I should formulate the search string in order to inhibit finding of these not wanted extra string matches? Part of code below 
open (INTER, "file_1.txt") || die "File not found";
          while (defined ($row = <INTER>))
              {
              if ($row=~ /$m$names[$k]$m$/g))
             {
             if ($row ne $mytext)
                 {
                 $mytext=$mytext.$row;
                 print " $row\n";
                 }
              }
                 
              }   
              close INTER;                           
          }
