Ok, thank you so much for responding!!Your code works wonderfully. The only other thing is that I need to search multiple items (so instead of $Search, perahaps @Search or it could read from a formatted CSV file) and then I need perl to pick the one that shows up the most as the primary, but still display the other ones. If the results could display something like:

Primary diagnosis (code that showed up the most for the particular per
+son): Cancer of the throat (7)
Other diagnosis: Benign Neoplasm (3 - as in it showed up three times) 
+Leukemias (2)

I probably didn't make that very clear sorry, and I may be getting greedy here, but any help would be so appreciated!

Do you have any ideas for that? THANK YOU
