I just want to match certain keyword(s) to determine device type.
I guess a for loop is the closest I'm going to get. I just thought
there would be a specific function for this.
Isn't grep() "specific" enough?
Initially you said:
$line = join(' ',@myarray);
if ($line =~ /my string/) {
some code
}
The equivalent using grep() would be:
if ( grep /my string/, @myarray ) {
some code
}
So then I wonder - which is more efficient. My earlier "join"
example, or a for loop?
To get the answer to such a question, do a benchmark with help of the
Benchmark module.
