comparing scalars contaning "DOUBLE QUOTES" as data

Hello to all,

Does anyone know the solution ?

Two strings A and B are present. I want to check whether B is a Substring of A.

1. The value of A is - 29 * * * /bin/ls "test" "tmp*" "log*"
(Note: Pl note that A contains DOUBLEQUOTES, ASTERISK & FRONTSLASH)

2. The value of B is - /ls "test" "tmp*" "log*"
(Note: again B contains DOUBLEQUOTES, ASTERISK & FRONTSLASH)

Since the variable scalars A and B have DOUBLEQUOTES as a part of the data stored "=~" operator is not working.

[ $A =~ $B ] - results in error..

Is there any other way (any sed/awk/perl one liners). Requesting help to solve this.

Thanks
rssrik

NAME
CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::Source - read in CPANPLUS commands SYNOPSIS
CPAN Terminal> /source /tmp/list_of_commands /tmp/more_commands DESCRIPTION
This is a "CPANPLUS::Shell::Default" plugin that works just like your unix shells source(1) command; it reads in a file that has commands in it to execute, and then executes them. A sample file might look like this: # first, update all the source files x --update_source # find all of my modules that are on the CPAN # test them, and store the error log a ^KANE$' t * p /home/kane/cpan-autotest/log # and inform us we're good to go ! print "Autotest complete, log stored; please enter your commands!" Note how empty lines, and lines starting with a '#' are being skipped in the execution. BUG REPORTS
