The following should get you started. Could be the regexes need a bit of tweaking. Note the use of subs that nicely separate the task into distinct problems and allow easy code reuse.

Your post is nearly unreadable. Dont use </br>. Use <br> or <br/>! I wonder where that meme comes from.
my $desc = get_bug_description(4, 'first.csv', 'second.csv'); sub get_bug_description { my ($id, $key_file, $desc_file) = @_; my $cve = get_bug_cve($id, $key_file); open my $file, '<', $desc_file; while (<$file>) { return $1 if /"$cve","([^"]+)/; } close $file; return; } sub get_bug_cve { my ($id, $key_file) = @_; open my $file, '<', $key_file; while (<$file>) { return $1 if /$id,(.+)/; } close $file; return; }
