Re: searching parameter names

You just need to search through all the parameter names looking for the ones which match you condition. If you're using CGI, you can do something like this.

my $q = new CGI;
my @hello_param_names = grep {m/hello/} $q->param();

Re^2: searching parameter names by Anonymous Monk on Mar 24, 2006 at 12:29 UTC
Thank you, works great. So to actually retreive the values, I would have to do a little foreach statement and then print the values. Is there a shorter way I can take this concept but instead of storing the names of the paremeters, just store the actual values of all paremeters with the world "hello". That way, I would have one less foreach statement in my code. I'll continue trying to figure it out and if I do, I'll repost it here for future ref.	[reply]

You mean like this? `my @hello_values = map { $q->param($_) } grep {m/hello/} $q->param(); # untested!` [download] --- my name's not Keith, and I'm not reasonable.	[reply] [d/l]
