You could use a hash instead. Set the key to the ipvalue and the value to 1.

I have a long list of IP addresses I am going to be reading in (using regexps) and then seperating out into a list of IP addresses. I don't want the IP addresses to be printed if they are not unique. Is there a way to check if a string already has an element in a stack? i.e. push @stack, $_ if is_unique($_, @stack); ? Or would I have to code that myself? -Dan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
