I have tried to match a pattern stored in a variable like so 08/14/04.
my $dm=08/14/04;
open F, file
while (<F>) {
if ( $_ =~ /$dm/ ) {
blah
blah
blah
}
if ( $_ =~ m/^\$dm/ )
if ( $_ =~ m/[$dm]/ )
I cannot get it to pull on certain dates from a file.
My file looks like
08/14/04 timestampe exxxxx

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
