Take a look at
Re^2: Alternative matches again.
Then try
perldoc -f index.
What you'd need to actually write is
index($string,'new') > -1 ||
for however many words there are.
You'd have to modify that if for every new word you added,
which would soon turn into
index($string,'new') > -1 ||
index($string,'old') > -1 ||
index($string,'number') > -1 ||
index($string,'start') > -1 ||
index($string,'simple') > -1 ||
index($string,'cross') > -1 ||
index($string,'heavy') > -1 ||
index($string,'die') > -1 ||
index($string,'exit') > -1 || ...
That is a lot of cut'n'pasting and
this is not what programmers do.
What you'd do is write a function to loop over an array like
I did.
