Here's the data that I should have added earlier...
Also, the goal is to print the matching 7 digit line. If I found 7770005 I would get the full line from fileB.
(And I change the grep line to a push)
push(@grepnames,grep/$testit/,@fileb);

fileA:
7770005
7770012

fileB:
7770001 ABA BANKING JOURNAL.RECORD # = b12822826. OK
7770002 THE ABNF JOURNAL.RECORD # = b13671558. ok
7770003 ACADEMIC EXCHANGE QUARTERLY : AEQ.RECORD # = b14618114. ok
7770004 THE ACADEMY OF MANAGEMENT REVIEW.RECORD # = b12691070. ok
7770005 THE ACCOUNTING REVIEW.RECORD # = b13123269. ok
7770006 "ACCOUNTING, ORGANIZATIONS AND SOCIETY.RECORD " # = b15123236. ok
