Negative subscripts count from the end of the array, so the last element is: $array[-1] You can also use the $#array notation to get the index of the last element: $array[$#array] The total number of elements can be determined by using the array name in scalar context. Array indices start at 0, unless you monkey with $[, which is discouraged. So you could also use: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 1] Most folks would probably just use $array[-1] If you want to get the last element and remove it from the array, just use pop: my $last = pop @array; > > or maybe a way to count each value in a given array? and then > feed the $array[??] with that? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
