Im writing a perl script now and this is part of the sricpt
chomp = ($pattern = ARGV[0]);
for each(@thisarray)
{
if($_ =~ m/$pattern/i)
{
print ("found it here, $_");
}
}
the array @thisarray is given.
this scprit reads from the command line and pass that input the the
pattern
and will check if the pattern match the any string inside the array it
will
print the msg.
I have done this part succesfully if the input is just a normal string
like a ab
my question is how do you imporve it so it can accept the input that
contains* and ?
character(s) like *ab? a*b* *a*
thanks a lot.
