Hi, followers of the right belief,
I have a nine character string that contains three columns of 3 characters and I have to find two strings in the string.
Ok, lets say I have to find 'abc' and 'xyz'
'abcmmmnnn' has to result true (abc is found in first column)
'mmmxyznnn' has to result true (xyz is found in second column)
'mabcmxyzm' has to result false (neigther abc nor xyz in the columns)
I can do it the easy way by splitting the string into substrings and doing 6 single eq or doing 2 greps in an array of the substrings.
But is there a cool regex way?
Thank you for your attention

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
