Arrays have push(), pop(), shift(), unshift(), and splice(). To get the length of an array, just do $size = @array; For the functions, use perldoc (like 'perldoc -f push'). As for hashes, they've got keys(), values() and each(). -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~japhy/ RPI Acacia brother #734 http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.cpan.org/ ** Look for "Regular Expressions in Perl" published by Manning, in 2002 ** <stu> what does y/// stand for? <tenderpuss> why, yansliterate of course.
