Hi -
I don't think you can regex on a whole array; try this
after you have loaded the array:
for (@lines) {print "ok" if /Date:/; }
This iterates the array lines presenting $_ for each
iteration. The regex /Date:/ operates on $_.

Subject: Help in Regular expression with array
Hello,
I am facing a problem in using regular expression on array. My code is
written below:
open(FILE, $dirvalue) ;
my @lines = <FILE>;
print @lines; # prints the file contents
if( @lines =~ m/Date:/) { print "ok";}
close(FILE);
here I can print @lines which gives me:
