Hi fellow friends,
I am trying to compare data from 2 files and get the same data.
example:
file1
andy,222
darren,333
jay,444

file2
333,felix
777,chris
888,darren

The script should print "darren" as it appear on file1 and file2. i have tried the following but doesn't work: 

open(file1,"file1.txt");

while (<file1>)
 {
   chop();
   $REC     = $_;
   @LINEREC = split(/\,/,$REC);

print "$LINEREC[0]\n";
}

open(file2,"file2.txt");

while (<file1>)
 {
   chop();
   $REC     = $_;
   @LINEREC = split(/\,/,$REC);

print "$LINEREC[1]\n";
}

if ( $LINEREC[0] eq $LINEREC[1])
{
print $LINEREC[0];
{

It does not work, maybe there is some problem with the logic
Cheers,
