Please read Writeup Formatting Tips. In particular, please wrap code in <code> tags, to prevent mangling. In particular, note how your array indices got linkified.

After reformatting your posted code, I get something like:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my @findle = ("fever","febbre","la fièvre","koorts"); my $size = @findle; my $number = 0; for (my $i=0; $i<$size; $i++) { if ($_ =~ /$findle[$i]/ ) { print "$_\n"; $number++; #@lines = # print ("there are : " . $number); } }

which can be written more cleanly as Your code can be written more cleanly as

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my @findle = ("fever","febbre","la fièvre","koorts"); my $number = 0; for my $element (@findle) { if (/\Q$element\E/) { print "$_\n"; $number++; #@lines = # print ("there are : " . $number); } }

If you want to cache the elements you hit on, you can combine an array outside the scope of your test with push:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my @findle = ("fever","febbre","la fièvre","koorts"); my @hits; for my $element (@findle) { if (/\Q$element\E/) { print "$_\n"; push @hits, $element; #@lines = # print ("there are : " . $number); } }

Note that the length of your @hits array also functions to count the number of hits.

Update: OP added tags, so modified above accordingly.
