in thread error message txtFile comparison with output in another txtfile

well the code should take the search strings from 'search.txt' (here: 'Juergen'), take this string and compare it to all entries in 'general.txt'. Since one of the entries in 'general.txt' is a matching string, the output should be written into an output text file.

    In a word: chomp. Also, I think you really want to search general.txt for the match text (one per line) from search.txt, so the for loop becomes something like:

    for $a (@sea)
{
  chomp $a;
  @result = grep /\Q$a\E/, @gen;
  push (@final , @result);
}
