  Just like =~, except negated. With matching, returns true if it DOESN'T match. I can't imagine what it would do in translates, etc.

  • The most basic string comparison is 

    $string =~ m/sought_text/;

     The above returns true if string $string contains substring "sought_text", false otherwise. If you want only those strings where the sought text appears at the very beginning, you could write the following: 

    $string =~ m/^sought_text/;

     Similarly, the $ operator indicates "end of string". If you wanted to find out if the sought text was the very last text in the string, you could write this: 

    $string =~ m/sought_text$/;

     Now, if you want the comparison to be true only if $string contains the sought text and nothing but the sought text, simply do this: 

    $string =~ m/^sought_text$/;

     Now what if you want the comparison to be case insensitive? All you do is add the letter i after the ending delimiter: 

    $string =~ m/^sought_text$/i;

  Without regular expressions, PERL would be a fast development environment. Probably a little faster than VB for console apps. With the addition of regular expressions, PERL exceeds other RAD environments five to twenty-fold in the hands of an experienced
