Folks,
How do I EXACTLY match a string (containing one or more words)
with another string?
Example : Need to match
$str_to_find="Information received correctly" from an array of strings @Output where string to match from can be :
$output[i]="The form Information recieved correctly on Tuesday".
So this would be the ONLY correct match.
But
$output[j]="The Information from you was received today correctly "is not considered a match.
Also, following should not be matched (output found on different lines:
$output[1]="Information"
$output[1]="received"
$output[1]="correctly"
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance
