Now there is beth in the file ( i added it) but the program always

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?

so you are saying this is no good:
$data=<$fh>

should I putting this into an array then ?
