True that, but it was just a quick reply before I had to head out to work
so I wasn't going to pretty it up any :) (Didn't have time for it).
In general my coding style is a bit condensed, I grew up with Turbo Pascal
and was taught to condense everything (whether or not that was a good call
by the teacher, beats me) so I'm used to it.
I do break up things like
$blah=sprintf("%6.2f", ( ($foo/$bar) + ($baz*$bloop) ) );
(Just to take some random junk).
And that's just so I know what goes where ;)
I also use the here documents a lot when it comes to printing lots
of text, although at times I do it with a mix of regular printing
and here docs. Just depends on what's being printed :)
