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

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
