I am new to Perl.
I have looked at the FAQ's, online any other source I can find. I suspect this is a simple solution, but I am stuck.
I have a list of strings (function names) that I am tring to get a count of in source files. I have the function names in a list and I read the source file into antoher list. I have tried various ways of comparing them , for example
foreach $sourceLine (@SourceData)
{
if ($functionName =~ /$sourceLine/) {$counter++;}
}
or
$counter = grep (/$functionName/ , @SourceData);
Either way I always get a value of 0 for the counter.
Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong ?
TIA !
Jerry

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).
