I am working with index() and how I am using it with Arrays is not working
foreach(@Array1)
{
$string1 = $_;
foreach(@Array2)
{
my string2 = $_;
my $result = index($string2, $string1);
if($result <= 0)
{
print $string1, " is not found in ", $string2,
+"\n";
}
}
}
My @Array1[0] and $string1 is 'FFF'
My @Array2[0] and $string2 is 'FFF NNN JKK III LLL QQQ'
However my return on the above is
FFF
is not found in FFF NNN JKK III LLL QQQ
Cleary 'FFF' is part of string 'FFF NNN JKK III LLL QQQ' and should return a result >= 0
This code works however when I am not using Arrays
my $string = "FFF NNN JKK III LLL QQQ";
my $substr = "LLL";
my $result = index($string, $substr);
if($result > 0)
{
print "Result: $result\n";
}
else
{
print "not found";
Result: 16
Is there some way I am going about my Array handling incorrect

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).
