Hello rohan_532,

First of all welcome to the monastery.

I was reading through your question and it is not so clear to me, maybe another monk can understand but what you are trying to achieve?

Since you are already comparing your array with the string:

if (grep { /(?i)\Q$db_description\E/ } @steps_name)

What is that you want to get. Can you provide us a pseudo code of the input lines and the expected output. Provide us a sample of input data so we can replicate your problem. In general please update your question based on How do I post a question effectively?. Do not take this the wrong way help us more to help you.

Update: rohan_532 Do Not Re Post Your Questions on top of other questions that you have posted Re^2: regex for case insensitive. This will produce chaos on your questions and answers and also people that might refer to these questions on future.

Looking forward to your update.

Seeking for Perl wisdom...on the process of learning...not there...yet!
