Hi, I have many forms, and basically I just need to receive either a number or characters or both. this is how I check
my ($value,%result,$name); foreach (param){ $name = $_; $name =~ s/\s$//;##take the space at the end $name =~ s/[^a-zA-Z0-9]//g;##all none character is change into nothing $value = param($_); $value =~ s/\s$//;## take the space at then end $value =~ s/[^a-zA-Z0-9]//g;##all none character is change into nothing $result{$_}=$value; } Is that a good way to do it, because sometimes I can get 15 variables and it is a PAIN to check everyone. thank you, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
