Hi there,

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to use grep in a particular situation.
The line is:

next unless grep ($fromdevice, @sitenamekeys);


but I am not quite matching properly.

@sitenamekeys = /ABC DEF GHI/;

and $fromdevice could be something like "device1.abc" or "device2.def"
basically I am trying to get the grep to identify if the current
$fromdevice has anything that matching any of the elements in @sitenamekeys

So "device1.abc" or "device2.def" would be a match and therefore would
continue without next but something like "device1.xyz" would not match
and therefore next would be executed.

next unless grep $fromdevice =~ /$_/, @sitenamekeys;
