Hello,
After experiencing heavy problems to perfom a search on a log file with
regular expressions I noticed that the documentation does not give
correct indications to use this module:
it reads:
"
my @addrs = $o_dat->SEARCH('/^(.*\@.*)$/');
"
while the example of deploy should be:
"
my @addrs = $o_dat->SEARCH('^(.*\@.*)$');
"
the search has to be done avoiding the usual "/" characters according to the source code:
"
push(@ret, ($line =~ /$search/));
"
It is also to mention that the search is always case-sensitive.
to enable case-insensitive search the code would have to be changed
from:
"/$search/"
to
"/$search/i"
In some cases you want case-insensitiveness but in other cases you dont need it and could save additional processing costs.

Hugo
