Re: Matching Part of a String in a IF Statment

Its not matching because, it's trying to match '$city' i.e $city doesn't get interpolated.

Remove that \ before $city, then it will match. You should also add boundary condition \b to the expression so that the you can do exact string match. (i.e)substring matches can be avoided

Technically it's trying to match `$cit` followed by one or more of `y`</pedant>	[reply]
