Hello,
I have a big problem! I need to match all patterns in schdays from a
variable schdays and if schdays = mwf it only turns up mwf and not all
entries containing M, W or F. Is there a way to do this?
mysql> select schdays from courses where schdays LIKE "%MWF%";
+---------+
| schdays |
+---------+
| MWF |
+---------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select schdays from courses where schdays LIKE "%M%";
+---------+
| schdays |
+---------+
| MWF |
| MW |
| MW |
| M |
| M |
+---------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
I need to be able to say select schdays from courses where schdays LIKE
"%schdays%"
Here is my code from the program:
my $sth2 = $dbh->prepare("select
id,schdays,time_to_sec(timein),time_to_sec(time
out) from courses where schdays LIKE \"\%$cschdays\%\" AND
done=\"Yes\"....etc..
So I need to be able to match any pattern with $cschdays.
Do I need to parse out the letters and pattern match each one?? It
should be easier.
Thanks,
Douglas
