I think you want `my $dels = join '\|', map quotemeta, @dels; @array = grep !/$dels/, @array` [download] That deletes "applepie" when "apple" is in `@dels`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Of course, if you only wanted to delete exact matches, you could extend ikegami's solution like so: `@array = grep !/^($dels)$/, @array;` [download] Now, 'apple' will no longer result in 'apple pie' being deleted. -- "Language shapes the way we think, and determines what we can think about." -- B.

Now, 'apple' will no longer result in 'apple pie' being deleted. ...but `"apple\n"` still gets tossed. Use `\z` to match the literal end-of-string and `$` for end-of-string-or-newline-you-know-whatever.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
