How to find 1-3 matches per line, no matter in which order the words are.

Line from flatfile:

FALCHE;12;ff;20020101;Pori;Yyteri;lietteet;testi;kylma

I have tried following code to search matches.

if (($hdata =~/$crit1/ig) && ($hdata =~/$crit2/ig) && ($hdata =~/$crit3/ig)) { print "$hdata<br>"; }

Problem is the order. If I search "pori and yyteri" I get fifferent resuts than with "yyteri and pori".

What should I do?

  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
