I'm having trouble matching strings in the file I'm opening. I just have it opening the file for reading now, because I"m trying to figure out what is going wrong. Is there something obvious that I am missing? It never matches the string on that file even though it IS there.
open FILE,'/Users/j/Desktop/test.log';
while (<FILE>) {
chomp; #check for duplicate file
if ($_ =~ m/appending/) {
print "Looks like the data you entered is already on file\n";
close (FILE);
}
else {
print "hey hey success\n";
close (FILE);
&append;
}
}
