Hi


It is giving the found status everytime even when there are no strings:
My script:


#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
#use strict;
#use warnings;
while (<test.s>) {
$string = "the\n\tlucky\n\t\tcoins";
if ($string =~ m/^(\s)*the(\s)*lucky(\s)*coins(\s)*$/) {
print "Yup,exists.\n";
} else {
print "nope \n";
}
}

test.s doesnt have anything


$ perl x.pl Yup,exists. $
