Re^2: Matching against list of patterns

[Schuk]

To get the matched pattern matched text you can simply do:

my $pattern = join '|', map "($_)", @patterns;
...
if ($line =~ /($pattern)/i) {
    print "matched $1\n";
  }

But be carefull if you want to get another matched text in this line. Somewhat it eats up all $1,$2,$3. Use $+ to get the last matched text of the line.
