I wrote this now: If it finds the work beth in the line, then is

Now there is beth in the file ( i added it) but the program always
skips to the else statement, end prints it twice.
How should I modify the search if (/^beth/) ?


while ($data=<$fh>) {

Here you are reading each line into $data

if (/beth/) { #matches only if beth is in line

and here you are matching /beth/ against the default $_.

Is that what you meant to do?
