Matching at the Beginning and End 2

To match at the end of a string use the dollar sign $:

$vg="London";

if ($vg =~ m/London$/) {
print "vg Matches ";
}

$bh="Visit London Today";

if ($bh =~ m/London$/) {
print "bh Matches ";
}

Which Prints:
vg Matches


-The dollar sign $ says to match what preceeds it (London) only if at the end of the string.
-Your variable $vg ends with London so it matches and prints.
-Your variable $bh doesn't end with London so it does not print.
-If you removed the dollar sign from the second section, the match would occur because London is in the $bh string, just not at the end.


Copy and Paste Perl Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";

$vg="London";

if ($vg =~ m/London$/) {
print "vg Matches ";
}

$bh="Visit London Today";

if ($bh =~ m/London$/) {
print "bh Matches ";
}

exit;
