Problem in If Loop

Hi,

I have a problem with if loop in the IPL. The following code never goes inside the if loop. userrole array has two roles,author and editor.

my $author="author";
my @userrole=`iwaccess roles-of-user $area -user $user`;

foreach $node(@userrole){
if($node eq $author)
{
print($node);
}
}

Can anyone please help me in solving this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Why don't you print out both sides of the eq before the if statement.

Also, chomp is your friend.

why don't you first get the output into a string and then massage it, I guess your @userrole array does not contain exactly what you want.

Also, as Andy suggested, use some debugging techniques, starting probably with printing out the @userroles array.

my @userrole=`iwaccess roles-of-user $area -user $user`;

Problem is in the above line of code. Check What is being returned by "`iwaccess roles-of-user $area -user $user`;"

That will solve your problem.
