Hi,
every outer loop you are reading all the $AFILE lines. From the second loop the
Descriptor points to the end. If you want to work this way you seed to lseek to
the begin.
If you you have a variable that holds the file contents you can do the
following:
my @lines = <$AFILE>;
foreach my $prime_id ( @id_hits ) {
foreach my $line( @lines ) {
if ( $line =~ /$prime_id/ ) {
print "$line\n";
next;
}
}
}
Hope that helps

Subject: Re: looping through a file
I decided to back up a bit and try a more simple routine. I have the
array @id_hits populated and I can search the log for the line and print
it. The problem is it only finds the first match and that is it.
foreach my $prime_id ( @id_hits ) {
while ( my $line = <$AFILE> ) {
if ( $line =~ /$prime_id/ ) {
print "$line\n";
next;
}
}
}
Do I need to pass it back to the foreach somehow?
