Quick question, is there another way of ending the input of information into an array? Didn't know that CTRL-Z had to be used to terminate the input from the user before the rest of the prog would work. :o) like, for example, is there a way of limiting the size of the array to only 1 or 2 entries? Apologies if I'm asking a no-brainer question here, have yet to reach the chapter on arrays and thought I'd ask considering i'll be using it a lot.

Hmm, are you just putting spaces between your names. You'll get a new element in your array each time you press enter if you use "@array = <STDIN>". Can you confirm your input data is. Sam[RETURN] Mary[RETURN] Joe[RETURN] CTRL-Z[RETURN] (as you're on windows) try printing $names[0] to prove the point, or print the entire array with... foreach my $name (@names) { print "==> $name\n"; } Good luck -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ************************************************************************ Meteor web site http://www.meteor.ie ************************************************************************ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
