in thread pull single value

Why did u put this array? my @record = ( "662-5555", "+1 102 892-1314" ); What if they are just individual values? Thanks, Pamela

    Did you want to run the "print if" against both values?

      Actually this code will fetch attribute having multiple values, i want only a single value that matches my pattern. The code above is not working. I even tried this one. 
      #!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my @array;

my $record = "+1 102 892-1314";
$record = "662-5555";


if ($record =~ m/(^\d{3}-\d{4}$)/) {
   
   push @array, $record;
}

 print "@array";

        It's rather useless to put a value in a variable when you immediately replace it with another.

      yes.

      How to do that?

        Then you're not dealing with a single value as you claimed. You want to iterate over a list of values. Why do you think it's a problem storing that list in an array?

        As for how, you've already been shown how. You were even given a fully functional program.
