in reply to How to get an exact match of files

I think you're looking for "eq", as in $date eq $file.

However, if you insist using a regex, please reveal the actual context, as it is probably not freeform Perl code then.

    $data="Adi";

    $file="$(ROOT)/../../../../../../../Audio_Driver/adie_lib/$(CPU)/adi"

    For the above data if I use $data eq $file,will they be equal?is it not case-sensitive?how to make the eq case-insensitive?
