perl parsing

[andi_1]

Hi guys,

In some cases I will have to read the file and I will
encounter a line similar to the below.
"Test,Test (test,ex1)"

I will need to determine whether the line contains
..test.com. What is the best way to determine it?

Thanks!

local $/ = undef;
open FIL, "< file";
=~ m/\btest\.com\b/s or exit;

Hi Andi,

you don't need perl for this, use simply the grep-command:

grep 'test.com' input_file

or

grep -v 'test.com' input_file

to get all lines which don't contain the string test.com

You could also pipe the output of these commands to your perl-script.

Allways stay on the bright side of life!

Peter
