scratchpad ChuckularOne What I'm trying to do is find $rFile in $_ and add it to an array.<br/> <br/> This matches only the whole string. <br/><br/> <code> if ( length($rfile) > 0 ) { foreach $item (@clean){ $continue = index($item, $rfile); if ( $continue == 0 ) { $output[++$#output] = $item; } } </code>
