Hi all,
I have to compare two string arrays. I have to check whether array1's element belong to array2 or not.
I have strings mixture of alphabets and numbers like:

array1 = {this1 this2 this11 this21 this23};
array2 = {h2this1 h3this2 h5this21 h6this23 h8this13}
[download]

i tried by

for $i(0.. $#array1){
 for $j(0.. $#array2){
  if($array2[$j]=~ /$array1[$i]/){
    print"$array1[$j] belongs to $array2[$i]";
   last;
}}}
[download]

Unfortunately, it prints as:

this1 belongs to h2this1 
this2 belongs to h3this2 
this2 belongs to h5this21 
this2 belongs to h6this23 
this1 belongs to h8this13
[download]

instead of printing it as:

this1 belongs to h2this1 
this2 belongs to h3this2 
this21 belongs to h5this21 
this23 belongs to h6this23 
this1 belongs to h8this13

I seek your advice.
Thanking you,

• 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.
