I have a very large file that I am parsing through as in my last post - Thank you for the help!! Now I am trying to use a list of items in an array - parse though the large file pulling out a field and checking to see if it is in the array - if so increment a count to get a record count. I don't think my lookup in the arrary is working. 
$logfile="d:\\ScanReps\\TR&D\\WDL_Scan_0000.csv";
$locofile = "d:\\ScanReps\\TR&D\\locos.txt";
open(DAT, $logfile);
open(loco, $locofile);
%loco_data = <loco>;
close(loco);

$linecnt1 = 0;
$linecnt2 = 0;

while ($record = <DAT>)
{
   chop($locodn);
  ($RR_Name,$Loco_no,$Event_Date,$Event_Time,$Event_Code,$Event_Durati
+on,$Source_File)=split(/,/,$record);

  chop($loco_data);
  chop($Loco_no);

  if (exists($loco_data{$Loco_no}))
  {
   $linecnt1 = $linecnt1 +1;
  }

  $linecnt2 = $linecnt2 + 1;
  print "Rec: ",$linecnt2, " In: ",$linecnt1, "\r";
}
close(DAT);

The locos.txt is just a list of numbers - one number per line - I want to compare the value pulled in to $loco_no to the values in the array and if there inc the counter. Thanks, Ad.
