Also remember that you don't need a regex to find literal string matches. The index operator will do that.<br />
<br />
if( index( $output, $os_ver) &gt;= 0 ) { <br />
<br />
For a case-insensitive match, you could applyt the 'lc' operator to both operands, but by that time, it may no longer be any faster than a regexp match.<br />

Hi everybody,<br />
<br />
I have two questions. I have input that I have to sort from a command that I issue on a router. here it is<br />
<br />
<br />
avlist = base_CD02S1A, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; networking_CD02S1A &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;framerelay_CD02S1A <br />
atmNetworking_CD02S1A &nbsp;<br />
<br />
now I need to check that &quot;avlist = base_CD02S1A is present so I do this<br />
<br />
$os_ver='avlist = base_CD02S1A';<br />
($output)=$connection-&gt;wai<wbr />tfor($prom<wbr />pt)<br />
print $output;<br />
<br />
if($os_ver=~/$output/){<br />
do this<br />
else{<br />
this}<br />
<br />
I am not geting the right match is there a better way to mathc this with regular expressions so only the input that I need is retrieved into $output or is am I matching this wrong.<br />
Thank you<br />
<br />

Hi everybody,

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
