Im trying to find the text of a variable occurring in each line in an array.
Example:
Array "@full-list" contains ...
"Bob-smith#anthropology"
"Sandy-smith#sociology"
"Tom-sanders#english"
"Tina-lacy#socialwork"
"Anthony-sanders#english"
The value of the variable I'm searching for changes from smith to sanders to lacy.
@namelist-search= smith, sanders, lacy.

How do I find each occurrence in the array?
Here's what I have. Don't know how to changes the grep.....

For each (@namelist-search)
{
$Hold it=$_;
Chomp($holdit);
@grepnames= grep($holdit, @full-list);
}
Open result, ">matched-in-array.txt"
Print result "@grepnames\n\n";
