My code above searches for the first occurence of a phrase and returns the line number...
What if i wanna search for multiple search phrases in a single file and return the line numbers.
For example:
test.txt
1.This is phrase 1
2.This is phrase 3
3.This is phrase 2
4.This is phrase 3
any text in between
5.This is phrase 5
any text in between
6.This is phrase 4
7.This is phrase 1
8.This is phrase 2
9.This is phrase 3
10.This is phrase 6
11.This is phrase 7
12.This is phrase 1
13.This is phrase 2
14.This is phrase 3
15.This is phrase 4
16.This is phrase 8
17.This is phrase 1

i have given the line numbers for my reference in reality, it is not present...
The arguments passed are file_name and Search phrases (for eg: this is phrase1, this is phrase 2, This Phrase 3, phrase 5...)
The number of arguments passed may vary... But the first argument is always the file_name.
first it will check for phrase 1 and then from that line number phrase 2 (even though in our case Phrase 3 come in between phrase 2 ie., line 2 we need phrase 2 first and then phrase 3) and then phrase 3 and return phrase 3.
lets say we have 4 arguments including file name...
if (phrase 1 exists) ---------- if (phrase 1 doesnt exists)
from that line number ----------- search for phrase 2
search for phrase 2 ---------- if (phrase 2 also doesnt exists)
from that line number ---------- search for phrase 2 and return phrase 3
---------if (phrase 3 also doesnt exists)
----------- return phrase 2
----------- else phrase 1
search for phrase 3 ----------- if none of them exists display a message
return the phrase 3
the reason iam keeping track of line number is so that the file is not parsed from line 1.
if i know the number of arguments passed then its fine...
But the thing is what if i dont know the number of arguments presents.
can anybody suggest how do i proceed for this problem.
If it's just a matter of determining the number of arguements passed.
Try using 'shift' and iterate through them.
Otherwise, 'foreach $var, @ARGV' should work too.
