Hi List,
I am trying to grep a variable from a scalar value. Here is the example below.
$var = "mydisk";
$line = "mydisk is bad";
if (grep/\$var/,$line) {
print "disk is not bad";
}
[snip]
TIA,
Cheers,
Umesh
As others have pointed out, get rid of the slash. But to go a little
further here, why are you using grep()? grep() is for lists, and you
don't have a list; $line is a scalar.
if ($line =~ /$var/) {
print "disk is not bad";
}
See perlre or perlretut for details.
