Here's my problem: $one = 'this (is a) 1/2 measure example';
Try and run that through a regex like if ( $two =~ /$one/ ) { and it's pretty ugly. Who do I get the literal string for $one? In this case I think it would be something like: $two =~ /this \(is a\) 1\/2 measure example/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
