You may want to cycle through the file, line by line:
while(<RSTDATA>){
chomp;
if( . . .
}
}
That should do it.

Subject: Problem testing variable
open (RSTDATA, "rst/r".$event.".rst")|| print "Oops";
$winner = <RSTDATA>;
if ($winner eq "na")
{
print "Finalists<br>Did Not Play";
}
else
{
print $winner;
}
Why does the above code always print the value of $winner, and never
Finalists<br>Did Not Play, even when the line of text in the file is
just the letters na?
