Hi John,
Thanks for a very quick response John.
It gives the error as below:
Trailing \ in regex m/D:\STUDY\PERL\MYFTP\/ at
D:\Study\Perl\MyFtp\Ftp1.pl line
109.
($base,$path,$type) = fileparse($ARGV[0]);
$pattern=$path;
print "matches" if $string =~ m/$pattern/;
I print $pattern and it is D:\STUDY\PERL\MYFTP\. You are probably that
there are
some meta-characters, \ :, that I need to escape, but how do I escape
them if
they are variables?
Read "perldoc -f quotemeta" and use \Q and \E around your
variable.
Also, how do I do a non-case sensitive match. At the moment, am using
uc() to
upper case both the string and the pattern that I am searching for.
Read "perldoc perlop" (the m/PATTERN section) and use the /i
option to m//.
