Hi, I have two files like this HTML Code:
file 1: xxtcgtatccgaggga cgcgcgggggagg jjsjjjjsjjjdtcgtat aaaaaaacccaaan ggtcgtatffaadda gggctggalllslllssdkk
file 2: tcgtat gctgga
I want to 1) match each element of file2 to each element of file1. 2) delete all the matched alphabets and subsequent letters in the element of file1. so the output should be
xx cgcgcgggggagg jjsjjjjsjjjd aaaaaaacccaaan gg gg
I tried with regular expressions but couldnt figure out how to match elements of one array with another array. If possible please provide the code in perl because I just started learning perl. thanks in advance
