I have a program with a line likewhile (<FILE>) { if (/stuff/i) { print; } } When I run the program, and I replace "stuff" with only one character, like "d", it works exactly as I expect. But if instead of using "d", I use "da" or "date" (which I know are in FILE, because it's a text file I made) nothing prints on the screen. I've also tried to have it print to another file, and that's turned out blank too. What am I doing wrong?
You are making a weird claim, without presenting any Perl code that supports the claim.
Please post a short but _complete_ program, that illustrates the issue you are experiencing. Make use of the __DATA__ token, so people can just copy and run your program.
