 Your problem may be that you try to read your file _twice_ without
 closing and opening it again. In the code above there is nothing to
 be assigned to '$line[$loop]'.

 So just use the array '@queuedatafile' from the first part of your
 code and go through this array in your search loop.

 Another hint: better use 'chop()' or 'chomp()' to strip off
 newlines - it's more effective.


 Hope this helps, Eike
