I have a IF statement in this form:

if (grep $_ == $F[1],73,89,121,101,117,69,77,67,115,81,97,65,113) {

That compares values held within $F1 to those listed. I wish to add an additional condition that checks another variable other than $F1 but i'm struggling somewhat with the syntax and how this will work with the grep. For example:

if (grep $_ == $F[1],73,89,121,101,117,69,77,67,115,81,97,65,113 && $inext eq "Global.SAM")

Each condition works individually, but the latter condition testing $inext is ignored when written in this form. Why is this happening and what could be a solution to the problem?
