Re^2: Need RegExp help - doing an AND matchby Anonymous Monk |

Oh, hang on a second, there was a valid reason why I wanted RegExp, actually, I forgot. grep will still search the whole array @words, right? My original code terminates as soon as it fails to match one word in the array which is what I wanted as the file is huge. Ok, it's not the best code at all, but it doesn't have to search the entire array every time. I haven't benchmarked to check yet, but I guess grep might take longer. I was hoping for a RegExp that stopped its search on a mismatch so I think your second solution might be faster, I will check. Thanks!
