OK, the aim of the code is to go through the first file (news.txt) and where it finds 'The Lecht' then match it to 'The Lecht' in the second file (resort_list_for_parser.txt).
Once matched it should then add in a appropriate anchor tag.

It seems to be grabing the data from the string 'Lech' instead.
Here's the code as requested:

The file's is opened and $line is set here: 

open(NEWS,"news.txt") || die "Cannot open file";
    my @news_lines = <NEWS>;
close (NEWS);

open(RESORT_LIST,"resort_list_for_parser.txt") || die "Cannot open fil
+e";
    my @resort_list_lines = <RESORT_LIST>;
close (RESORT_LIST);

foreach $line (@news_lines)
{    
    $line =~ s/\n\r//sgi; 
    $line =~ s/\r//sgi; 
    $line =~ s/\n//sgi;

Within the foreach above the follwing code exists: 
        foreach $resort_line (@resort_list_lines)
        {    
            my ($resort_lookup,$resort,$country) = split (/:/,$resort_
+line,3);
    
            $resort =~ s/\r//sgi;
            $resort =~ s/\n//sgi;
        
            
$resort_string_position = index($line,$resort_lookup);
            
            if ($resort_string_position != -1) 
            {    
                my $resort_lookup_length = length($resort_lookup);

               substr($line, $resort_string_position, $resort_lookup_l
+ength) = "<html formatting>$resort_lookup</html formatting>";
            }
        }
}
