Re: how to get the full array value if part of the element matches

I think you want something like:

my @matches = grep { $_ =~ /aa/i } @array;

print "Matched:$_\n" for @matches;

`my @matches = grep { $_ =~ /aa/i } @array; print "Matched:$_\n" for @matches;` [download] Since the nature of the question itself clearly shows that the OP is a complete newbie, I think it may be worth to add that it's not necessary to pass through an intermediate `@matches` variable (before he cargo cults such an use), although in other cases it could, and in some others it may be convenient anyway: `print "Matched:$_\n" for grep { $_ =~ /aa/i } @array;` [download] But wait! Here you have two loops, of which one implicit in grep, whereas one would suffice. Hence a solution like that of fenLisesi may be preferable, but (to the OP!) be warned that it doesn't really matter in terms of performance.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
