Re: [MacPerl] passive input request

[Nicholas.G.Thornton@directory.reed.edu (Nicholas G. Thornton)]

Another question for the same program. how would you check to see if something begins the input string.

For example...
from the command line "die" is a command. But from any other input source I want only strings beginning in "--" to be commands (ie "--die"). using $input =~ /--/ allows for things such as "die--", "TEXT--die", "die, billy jo bob--!!"... .

Also is there a way to do wildcard charecters?
