Hello
I have a .html file with 22 form fields that I want to match against a .csv file that I have opened into an array.

Previously I have only used IF's but this isn't going to be practical here as I want to match against all of the 22 fields the user decides to use.

Incoming data is like this only times 22: $from = param('from');

And where I am at with the matching part is: 

open(DB, "</location/db.csv") || Error ('open','file');
while ($line = <DB>) {
  @split_sp_data = split(/,/, $line);
  if ($from =~ /@split_sp_data[1]/) { print qq (<a href="$split_sp_dat
+a[0]">$split_sp_data[0]</a>); }
}
close(DB);

Can anyone advise of the best way to approach this.
Thanks Si
