Since this is a beginners list, I guess someone (i.e. me) should point out that perhaps the simplest way to read an array from STDIN is to do something like:
@theseLines = <STDIN>; This will by default add one array entry per line of user input until the user enters a cntrl-d. Of course, if you are stuck on prefacing each line with the ':', or terminating the input some other way, you wouldn't want to use this. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shaun Fryer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 4:16 PM Subject: reading multi-line <STDIN> into an array > I'm curious if anyone has an better idea of how to recieve multiple > lines of <STDIN> into a single array. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
