Re^2: Partial string match -- with a twist.

Revised code:

  if ($key =~ m/(node[0-9]*)/) {
  if ($key = $1) { 
  print "You entered " .$key. ":" . $ref->{$key}. "\n";
    }
  }

That did the trick. Amazing how something so simple can be so easily missed. Thank you both very much.

This form of matching is more common: `if ($key =~ m/(node[0-9]*)/) { print "You entered " .$1. ":" . $ref->{$1}. "\n"; }` [download] Sorry if my advice was wrong.	[reply] [d/l]
