CPU & Memory Passing Variable to Regular Expression
Hi All,

Below is a sample code:
Code:
        print "Enter the Name:  ";
        my $Name = <>;
        print "Word is $Name";

        open (FH,"AIDNameList.txt");
        while (<FH>)
        {
                my $line;
                print "Word is $Name";
                for $line(<FH>)
                {
                        for ($line =~ /$NameAid/g )                        {
                                print $line;
                        }
                }
        }
        close FH;

I need to search for the user entered value in Variable $Name and search in each line of the file "AIDNameList.txt". I tried many ways but cudnot find how to give the word in the for loop.

Could some one help me out..

Thanks in advance
JS
