You could just change your foreach line to a standard for loop: for ( my $index = 0; $index <= $#files; $index++ ) { } And then just use $files[$index] wherever you use $_ below, and then you can refer to as many other elements in the array as you like with "$index + 1", "$index - 1", etc. Hope this helps, Jeff Eggen IT Programmer Analyst Saskatchewan Government Insurance Ph (306) 751-1795 email [EMAIL PROTECTED] ************DISCLAIMER************* This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
