Re: passing an array and a hash to a subroutine.

[David Buddrige]

Hi all,

I am writing a subroutine which is intended to take an array of strings, and concatenate each string in the array into a single [very long] string.


The subroutine is listed below.

My problem is that for some reason when I print out the variable "$single_comment_line", rather than getting a very long string, I get something like:

ARRAY(0x8118e34)

printed out instead. Can anyone see why this is happening?

thanks heaps

David Buddrige.

sub format_docpp_comment
{
my @doc_comment;
my $comment_line;
my $single_comment_line;

@doc_comment = $_[0]; # give a friendly name to the array


foreach $comment_line ( @doc_comment )
{
chomp $comment_line;
$single_comment_line = $single_comment_line . $comment_line;
}

# At this point we have a single string that contains our entire
# doc++ comment.
# we can now use simple pattern matching to parse it.

# for now output it so we can see what it looks like:
print $single_comment_line;
print "\n";
}
