Re^5: regex testing for multiple values

Did you try it out?

Did you? :)

$_ = '{IND';
print "Ok\n" if /{IND/;
____
Ok

Update: It seems that I misquoted ww, who actually wrote 'Did you try taking it out?'. My point remains valid, though. The problem is not with the regex, it is somewhere else in the code.

With chagrin, I must admit that I was thinking syntax, and testing proves me wrong on that account. However, grashoper is not looking for `'{IND'` but, rather, for "3 letter account codes...." If I understand that correctly, the condition in the regex in Re^2: regex testing for multiple values `if ($Session->{'usrSystem'}=~/{IND\|NOR\|PRO\|ARM\|SND/s)` introduces an open_curly_brace (`{`), which is wrong, in part, because the regex then tries first to match on for an open_curly_brace.

introduces an open_curly_brace ({), which is wrong, in part, because the regex then tries first to match on for an open_curly_brace.
