You assigning a string to $cnt then adding 1 to it, that doesn't make sense If all you want is a count of items in an array: my $cnt = $#IDS + 1; Or you want to count how many get processed: my $cnt; for(@IDS) { print "$cnt - $_ \n"; $cnt++; } HTH DMuey > > Thanks, > > Jerry > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
