The problem is that the contents in $string may contain metachars.
Are you looking for quotemeta(), or its cousin \Q? if ($line =~ /\Q$string\E/) Or maybe you really want index, if you're searching for a substring? if (-1 != index($line, $string) ) Hope this helps! --Tom Phoenix Stonehenge Perl Training -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
