Re: find the substring

Welcome to perlmonks! If you show us the code you have written so far we might be able to help with a specific problem. You can remove hyphens and periods from a string using:

s/-\.//g;

and then compare strings using 'eq'.

I guess the answer is to turn the substrings you are looking for into regular expressions that accommodate the presence of '-' and '.' between the letters. For example, `#!/usr/local/bin/perl $str = "a[-\.]?b[-\.]?c"; $str2 = "zzzza---..bcddddd"; $str2 =~ /($str)/; print $1,"\n";` [download] The use of the grouped regexp between `/.../` allows you to remember the substring that matched the regexp. But i'm not sure with that,can you please give some idea or give me your script if it's possible.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

$str = "a[-\.]*?b[-\.]*?c";
$str2 = "zzzza---..bcddddd";
$str2 =~ /($str)/;
print $1,"\n";

/.../
