Hello all, I have an array of string X and I am searching for var Y inside the string, but I cannot get it to find the occurance of the variable. Really, this is in an array of string. I've searched the Categorized Questions and Answers section, but that did not help. Here is a snippet, $X is space delimited. $X = Rescue21 EEC System Management Rescue21 EEC System Management Rescue21 EEC System Management C:\Rescue21\Executables\AlarmForwarderServer.exe Automatic Manual $Y = AlarmForwarderServer.exe

foreach $Y(@dependantFiles )
{
    foreach $X(@namedFiles)
    {        
        if(  $X =~ m/$Y/gi)
        {
                print "Found it\n"
                
        last;
        }    
        }
    next;    
}

After the match is found, how do you pull the first part of the text out of the string? Thanks for helping a NooB.
