Re: problem in search pattern

Actually i modified the problem and posted it here to make it simple. But that worked. But here goes the actual problem, the string values will be,

$row{test_name} will contain any of these values,
"BEFORE-AFTER.etest"
"DEFAULT.etest"
"ORDER-ROLLBACK.etest"
"{PRCIII.etest: logging size 100}"
"ROLLBACK.etest"
"SIDE-EFFECTS.etest"
"SYNTAX.etest"

#then i check for PRC
if( $row{test_name} =~ "PRC" )
{ print "PRC-------"; }

Really this problem is there only with PRC, which is in CURLY braces.
Or can you tell me how to remove the starting and trailing curly braces.

thanks

As someone said earlier, you want to say: `$row{test_name} =~ /PRC/` rather than: `$row{test_name} =~ "PRC"` Note the slashes versus quote marks.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Your data and code still prints the wanted result for me. Do you realise you still haven't shown us the part of the code where your error is to be found? We are better at tracking errors in code we can see --- than at guessing what might be wrong in the code you do not show. Cheers, Sören	[reply]
