Equivalent to Perl's and Bash's "=~" Operator?
Hello All,
Alright, so this is driving me absolutely insane. I can't seem to find this ANYWHERE...
I've tried every combination and synonym I can think of for this trying to search Google.
What is the Expect/Tcl equivalent to Perl and Bash's "=~" operator, (i.e. the "contains" operator).
I'm trying to do an if statements to check if a line contains a specific string, and the only operators I could find anywhere for Expect are (==, !=, <=, >=, <, >)...
Anyone have any clue if it's possible to do a pattern match in an Expect Script's if statement?
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Matt
