Hi,
Thanks for the reply but the first assumption itself is not true, the bold tags were added just to differentiate the text that has to be used for comparing. Can you please let me know any other idea I can proceed with?
Cheers
Comment on Re^4: Accessing secondary elements in array
You could have fooled me, as [b] isn't HTML for bold (you did actually preview your post, did you?). Perhaps you mean you want to compare white space separated columns - use split. Perhaps you mean you want to compare fixed width & fixed offset substring, use substr. Perhaps you mean something else that cannot be easily determined from the examples given.
Being able to actually describe your problem means you're more than halfway to the solution.
