Yeah sorry the questions is fuzzy. What i need to do is i have an array of tags ie
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my @tags = ("8=","9=","35=","49=","56=","50=","57=", "34=","52=","91=","11=","14=","17=","20=", "31=","32=","37=","38=","39=","54=","55=", "60=","50=","51=","98=","109=","163=","167=", "200=","207=","40=","44=","113=","56=","10=" ); open(FH, "test.log")||die("Unable to open log file: $! \n"); while (<FH>) { if($_ =~ any of the tags in array) { printf $fulltag; } }

So here we go over each line and match up 8=FIX then put that into a variable something like $first. Does that make sense.
