Ok, I’ve got this much when it comes to search ing for a keyword
open FILE, “< file.txt”; /$word/ and print while <FILE>;
Now can someone explain to me how I can have this search return a whole
listing from a database. So say the DB has a listing of names and
birthdays and I search for a certain birthday, how do I get all the
results for that match to appear?(the whole entry included - assuming the
fields are separated by | or soemthing and the entries by a n) Thanks
Ok…once again I must have been doing something wrong because that does
return the whole entry. Wow…I’m on a roll with this perl stuff.
