simple regex issue

[MoshiachNow]

HI,

Why is the below expression never becomes TRUE ?
Looks like strings match to me ....

myfix2=patch_quark_gradient_fix;
key2=quark_gradient_fix;

if ($key2 =~ /$myfix2/i)

For a match to occur [tt]$myfix2[/tt] needs to be in full within [tt]$key2[/tt]: this is very basic for regex usage.
I suggest that you deepen a bit your knowledge of regexes with some working examples taken from the documentation.
And if you want more help please clarify your goal (and also write correct code examples and include it between [tt][ignore]

[/ignore][/tt] tags).

$myfix2 =~ /$key2/i

is true because [tt]$myfix2[/tt] contains [tt]$key2[/tt]. [tt]$key2[/tt] does not contain [tt]$myfix2[/tt] so your expression is false.
