Thanks again, Kenosis. Yes, indeed. Entering the third option without brackets, does create a text file, but without any results(?) The files, I am looking for, however do exist in the directory. So they should be found.

Hmm.. If I get the two arrays (@ds and @dirFile) in my script listed, I can see that grep /$line/ should find the matching elements in the second array. But @results keeps beeing empty. The funny thing is: if I define @ds writing some of the wanted IDs directly into the script

@ds = ("I C 7702", "I C 7710");

the script works perfectly. But I want the array filled by reading a long list of IDs from a text file. Any idea what is going wrong?

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
