Hello Here is a very simple prblem which unfortunatly i am not able to solve. I want to compare a character to a variable and do accordingly. I am using an if loop for this!!
but it seems that even if the variable is not equal to that character, it is entering the loop.. i am not able to figure out the prblm!! here is the code: for( my $j =0 ; $j < $line_number ; ++$j) { if ( $rows[0][$j] = 'E' ) { print " iam here \n"; print " the value of the first element is $rows[0][$j] and the value of the sequence number is $rows[5][$j] \n"; if( $packet_number != $rows[5][$j]) { print "i am also here in $ch_count \n"; ++($loss); } ++ $packet_number ; } else { print " the value of count is $j \n"; } } -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
