Re: Regex Error

I've already tried the first way (I also tried $after =~ $scur).

And I don't want a literal dollar sign . . . the contents of $scur could change.

?

If you've tried the first way and it didn't work, then I suspect that `$after` and/or `$scur` do not contain quite the data you expect. Can you confirm this? Are there newlines in either? Is case an issue? How about using: `my $pattern = "\\" . $cur; if ($after =~ /$pattern/) { do something; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
