Janek,
Im sorry but I dont quite understand your statements. I sincerely hope
that you are not accusing me of copying source code. I truly dont know
why you would think that and if you dont I apologize for this part of my
response. I simply posted with a question about my source code that I
thought someone could help with.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, I assume that the carrots under "$href->{st_name1}" are where you
think there is a problem. After debugging since I posted this plea for
help, I came to discover the problem. It failed all of the if and elsif
tests. I found eventually that I had an extra white space character on
the string being passed into "$state" which was preventing the TRUE
result and never doing anything in the loop(which is also why it would
work when I passed in the string explicitly). I am now working out this
issue. Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Al
