Hello All I am having problem figuring out how to match two patterns. I have two pattern and I would like to now if they are the same or if one of them is a sub pattern of the other. Ej: $pattern1=[agpr]oprs[cd]xxxxx9; $pattern2=[agpr]oprs; $pattern3=aors;
$pattern2 is a "subpattern" of $pattern1, and $pattern3 is completely different form 1 or 2. I was trying with If ($paternn1=~/$pattern2/){do somthing . .. } put it just works if the left side is a string, with a pattern it does not work Some ideas??
