Problem in perl program in printing all the entries
Hi all,

I have a perl program where it checks for the presence of a particular line and prints the record if that line is present. But in the output file, all the entries are not being printed even if the entry has that line. The line to be matched is *FIELD* AV. The program which I wrote is given below. I have no idea where I might be wrong. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$/="\n\n";
open(DATA,'mutationsonly.txt');
# or die("Could not open mutationsonly file.");
open(MYOUTPUT, ">newmutations.txt");
# or die ("could not open newmutations file.");
my @records= <DATA>;
close(MYOUTPUT);
close(DATA);
foreach my $record (@records)
{
chomp;
my $find=/^\*FIELD\*\sAV$/;
if ($record=~m/ $find /) 
{
print "$record";
}
}

DESCRIPTION

       Dbfdump prints to standard output the content of dbf files listed. By default, it prints all fields, separated by colons, one record on a
       line. The output record and column separators can be changed by switches on the command line. You can also ask only for some fields to be
       printed.

       The content of associated memo files (dbf, fpt) is printed for memo fields, unless you use the "--nomemo" option.

       You can specify reading the standard input by putting dash (-) instead of file name.
