Hi,
I was under the impression that regex modifier '/x' ignores the white
space. So in following script both the if-else blocks should print
"Match" since the strings differ only in white space and '/x' should
ignore the white space.
But looks like my understanding of '/x' is wrong. Could someone please
correct me and explain the below behavior.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $str = "Hello World";
my $str2 = "Hello World";
my $str3 = "Hello World";
if($str =~/$str2/x){
print "Match\n";
} else {
print "No Match\n";
}
if($str =~/$str3/x){
print "Match\n";
} else {
print "No Match\n";
}
Cheers,
Parag
