in reply to matching an array

So you have:
  1. an array with your form values (@params)
  2. and a file to select lines from, depending on the values?
don't you?

If this is it, your approach is not so much wrong. You should consider swapping the loops. You won't need any indexing then.

BTW: Is this homework?

    o you mean swapping the "foreach" loop and the "while" one? like this? 
    open (FILE1, "<tabtext.txt");
open (FILE2, ">ludo.txt");
while(<FILE1>){
    foreach my $paramKey (@params){
        if (/$paramKey/){
            print FILE2;
        }
    }
}
close(FILE1);
close(FILE2);
