in thread Array or Hash problem!

OK here is a sample of what that does:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w my @code_array = qw(7772344 2233421 TMW2222987 TMA2222333 TMW9999988 A +MQ8873332 AMQ1111877); #the 2222987 value will be coming from the db query if ( "@code_array" =~ /(^|\s|[[:alpha:]]{0,3})2222987(\s|$)/ ) { print "Match!! \n"; } else { print "No Match \n"; }

I hope I made it a little clear now!

    Thanks, i understand you
    #INITIAL DATA my @code_array = qw( 7772344 2233421 TMW2222987 TMA2222333 TMW9999988 AMQ8873332 AMQ1111877 ); my @test_suite = qw( 2222987 7772344 TMW2222987 TMD2222333 bbb TMA 111 ); #CODE # this print "Variant 1:\n"; for (@test_suite) { printf "%s is %s\n", $_, /^(?:\w{3})?\Q$_\E$/ ~~ @code_array ? 'match' : 'not match'; } # or that variant print "\nVariant 2:\n"; for my $val (@test_suite) { printf "%s is %s\n", $val, (grep /^(?:\w{3})?\Q$val\E$/, @code_array) ? 'match' : 'not match'; }
    Resulting:
    
    Variant 1:
    2222987 is match
    7772344 is match
    TMW2222987 is match
    TMD2222333 is not match
    bbb is not match
    TMA is not match
    111 is not match
    
    Variant 2:
    2222987 is match
    7772344 is match
    TMW2222987 is match
    TMD2222333 is not match
    bbb is not match
    TMA is not match
    111 is not match
