I am having problems matching strings. I have the
following code that reads a file with computer names
and if a named passed to the script is in the file
print yes otherwise print no, for example. The
computer names are in the format n-4.t-1 meaning node
four on rack 1.
while(<FILE>) {
$line = $_;
chomp($line);
$_ = $name_passed; # name is the argument passed to
this script
if (/$line/) {
print "yes\n";
exit 0;
}
}
print "no\n";
Now, if the file contains computer n-4.t-1 and I want
to see if computer n-4.t-11 exists in the file (which
it doesn't) the script return yes because it matches
n-4.t-1. However, the file might contain the entry
"t-2" which means that all the nodes on rack 2 need to
be disabled. So, if I passed the script the name of
n-4.t-2, the script should return "yes" because that
nodes is part of rack 2.
Any ideas anyone???
