How do I simplify the regex below so that it matches only the number
1, henceforth it should return false if I match $string with $match.
use strict;
use warnings;
my $string = "10 11 12 13 40";
my $match = 1;
if ($string =~/^$match | $match | $match$/g){
Do you possibly mean something like:
my $match = qr(\b1\b);
if ( $string =~ /$match/ ) {
which would be true for the string
my $string = "10 11 1 13 40";
but not for your original string.
