Hi,
I' writing a code to get the files that match a string from directory
my code works fine to some extent
it couldnt match the whole string
for example - it matches admin/1.1 and admin but i need it to match only admin/1.1
I couldn't achieve it with ^ in front and $ at the back
please help me in this regard
Thanks in advance
Code is given below
my $str = "string to be matched";
opendir(TEMP,'/ade/nachekur_view2/oracle/work/hosts/brhost3/br/xcr')or
+ die "cannot open dude \n" ;
my @FILES=readdir TEMP;
my $fi = scalar (@FILES);
for (my $k = 0; $k < $fi ; $k++)
  {
     open (F,$FILES[$k]) or die " rey ledhu ra \n";
     my @lines = <F>;
     for (@lines) {
          if ($_ =~ m/$str/) {
             print "$_\n";
             print "Lined that matched $str in $FILES[$k] \n";
             last ;
           }
       }

    }
closedir(TEMP);
}
