Full Discussion: PERL - copy fiel contents to array then compare against other file

this is wrong:

open FILE, $FILEname or die "couldn't open $FILEname: $!";
while (<FILE>)
{
@ARRAY = <FILE>;
}

if you want to read the file into an array you would do it like this:

open FILE, $FILEname or die "couldn't open $FILEname: $!";
@ARRAY = <FILE>;
close FILE;

The problem I have with trying to help anymore is that these types of tasks are always data sensitive, and your sample data does not appear to be your real data. Post some of the real data and describe better what you need to match/find.

And be patient, bumping your thread after an hour is not appropriate. This is a help forum, not tech support.
