Hello everyone!!

I want to compare two files in order to extract the line numbers of the lines where the two files match!!

But the problem is that for example:

File1.txt

Hello how are you!? "Fine"
Are you sure that you are really fine!? "Yes"
What car do you like? "Mustang"
Thank you..
I like Football


File2.txt

"Fine"
"Mustang"
I like Football

Result.txt


Line 1 : "Fine"
Line 3 : "Mustang"
Line 5 : I like Football

With this code:
open (F1,"f1.txt");
open (F2,"f2.txt");

while (<F1>){
$HASH{$_}++;
}
close(F1);

while (<F2>){
$HASH{$_}++;
}

foreach $line (sort keys %HASH){
print "$line\n" if ($HASH{$line}>1);
}

[download]

it donīt gives me for example "Mustang" or "Fine", because this words or phrases donīt start at a beginning of a line!!

How can i solve this??

Thank you all!!
