this will work! thanks!
one more question...
I am setting an array up to be the output of a system app command like
this
my @ftapes = system (evmvol -w label_state=3|grep barcode");
print $ftapes[0];
it prints everything...meaning 5 lines. Or when I say print $ftapes[0,1]
it errors saying
"my" variable @ftapes masks earlier declaration in same scope at
foreign_tape_ck.pl
Multidimensional syntax $ftapes[0,1] not supported at foreign_tape_ck.pl
line 2.
Use of uninitialized value in print at foreign_tape_ck.pl line 26.
foreign_tape_ck.pl syntax OK
what I want is for each element to hold 1 line. Will the diamond operator
work here?

Not completely sure what you are trying to do but you can join all the
elements like this
my $mystring = join " ", @myarray;
this will join each elements into one string seperated by a space.
