Re: One line assigment statement with regex match

in reply to One line assigment statement with regex match

This looks like a good case for Regex::Presuf i.e

use Regex::PreSuf;

my $lineFromSomeTextFile = "your line right here\n";
my @terms                = qw/ something matching a line /;
my($word) = $lineFromSomeTextFile =~ /(${\presuf(@terms)})/;
# or without PreSuf
my($word) = $lineFromSomeTextFile =~ do {local $" = '|'; "(@terms)"};

print "found '$word' in: $lineFromSomeTextFile";

__output__

found 'line' in: your line right here
