Okay, I do not know why this will not work, but maybe you all can help. I have list of bots IP # and Addr. It's stored in a file called engines.list and there is a new line feed at the end of each address or IP #.

What I am trying to do is to match the env host and addr variables with each line in the file. If it successfully finds a match, it executes another subroutine, otherwise another subroutine executes.

Here's the code that I am constantly looking at and can't get it to figure out. I have tested the script by adding my IP to the list and it only works if I add my number to the bottom of the list. If I add it to the top or in the middle of the list, the script doesn't find my number.


Does the code look right? I keep getting isRobot variable 0 even though my IP number is listed somewhere in the engine.list, unless it is at the very bottom of the list. Then the variable is 1.

Here's how I would do that:


Once you have a match, you need to exit the subroutine, which your code was not doing. Instead it just kept procecessing the code.

I hope this helps.
