Re: regexp Help

[Craig Moynes/Markham/IBM]

from your small code sample everything checks out.
I would be inclined to ensure that the parameter is being read in correctly
with no trailing spaces or strange characters.

If you need more help send a bigger code sample for us to peruse.

If someone could please help me.

I can't figure out how to use a variable in a regexp.

Example.
I am writing a script to parse a web log and report on all the hosts in the
log.
However I have a command line option to exclude a domain from the report.
My problem is that I can't figure out how to use the inputed value in a
regexp.

Log Format
host.domain.com

I want to be able to exclude domain.com

I have tried:
while( $exclude_domain !~ /$host/ ) { ... }

Any help is appreciated.
