Actually that closing bracket IS for the if statement, it just didn't get indented in the cut & paste :-), there is more code in the for statement following the if. > and your for is not perlish, more C code, but I won't attempt to clean > it, I'm too beginner That comes from asking a C++ guru for help ;-) > for (2..$last) #for the i replacement > if ($_-1 != $fileNames[$_]) { # we can use != since it's only > numbers > print "Sending missing for file: $fileNames[$_]"; > &sendMissing($_-1); > } # your if ends there? > &pause; # or that too is in the if? > } > > I am really beginner so I'll let the gurus code your sub way better, but > that was my try. > seeing your for, it's like j is always one under i since you initialize > it at 1 and i at 2. $i gets initialized to 2 so that it skips . and .. produced by reading the filesnames into an array (I'm sure theres a better way, but this works ;-)), $j starts at 1 since the first filename should be "1" I can send the whole script if need be, but it is rather long :-) -- Michael D.
