[rt-users] Searching for a string

Fri Aug 9 12:15:01 EDT 2013

The single quote must have been a typo In the email.  I switch the code to use regex for the search see results below.  Using index still works just need to change brain thought to get it to work similar to regex.  I still think the issue is the double quotes in the content text.

I have done some other test using the Padre ide if I take out the double quotes the regex search works.

Here is the codes being used.

my $t_subject = $self->TransactionObj->ContentObj->Content ;
my $match = "Building: Walgreen Drug Store";
if ( $t_subject !~ /$match/i)  {
   $RT::Logger->debug("Found Match\n");
   return 0;
}
else {
   $RT::Logger->debug("No Match Found Match string: $match content: $t_subject\n");
   return 1;
}

Here is the log entry when the search fails and the content is in the log as well.

Thanks for the help

A few (hopefully helpful) questions:

1. Why do have a single-quote character before the word Building in the first example, but not in the second?

2. Can you send an example string that you searching over?

3. Better yet, can you send a snippet of your code?

And a note: if you are trying to capture text, you need parentheses around the text you intend to capture. Something like this:

<CODE>
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my $str="And suddenly, there were Building: Walgreen Drug Store
#235232343434324235521 flies in the tepid air";

my ($substr) = ($str =~ m/(Building: Walgreen Drug Store #\d+)/); print $substr, "\n"; </CODE>

Also, you don't mention whether this string occurs only in the email headers, or also in the body? If in the body, will you have to deal with the possibility of a line break occuring inside the string?
