Let me just add this to be clear. I am so beginner, almost 4 moths, and not getting anywhere with perl. I need some fire in my heart to keep me going. I just want someone to show me how to fish but not to give me a fish. So all experts out there please give me some hint. this is what I would like to do. I know how to read one file into array. BUT 1. I would like to merge 2 logs file into array lets called @array_of_logs. I might be add more logs file into this array later. So that i can just type the another log file in to array without writing another open close code. # my most difficult part. 2. matching the pattern that i have in array called @matching_list = qr(a|b|test|go\thome|) #know how to match. 3. email it to me if match any. (not sure what man page i should be reading for) SO all expert out there please give me some hint for this code. thx. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
