Unsure what you are trying, but:
        
        if ( /^T...A/ ) {  # When try
         # if Starts with a T , dont care about 2 thru 4 and the 5th char is A
       }else {
           # not a hit do work here
         }

Wags ;)

Subject: matching


Hi perl masters,

I am a very "beginner" of perl and I have a very simple question. I want
to match characters within a sting of letters.

ex: TCATATTG

I want to match character 1 to "T" and character 5 to "A" how would I go
about doing that? Thanks so much for your help.

Henry
