Hi.
How can I isolate stuff inside a string so that two identical strings will match when they ought to? Sample code:
$str1 = " <TD class=xd01>3.04 (build 14)</TD>";
$str2 = "3.04 (build 14)";
if ($str1 !~ /$str2/) {
print "no match?\n";
}
else {
print "match!\n";
}
The result this yields is "no match?", and not what I expect: "match!". I suspect the parentheses are responsible for this, so how can I rewrite the comparison to yield the result I need--and still work with other, more normal, strings?
Thanks!
Deane
