This list is for beginners, right? =)
I read in a file, then strip all lines that start with "#" or "\n". When I print them out, though, the first line is left justified correctly but the rest have a single space in front of them. Any ideas why? $file = "somefile.dat"; open (FILE, $file) || die("Couldn't open $file: $!\n"); @_ = <FILE>; close(FILE); while ($_[1] =~ /^[#\n]/) { push(@comments, shift(@_)); } print "@comments"; TIA. - B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
