All things are possible :-) Well okay maybe not *all*, but if you can describe in detail what you want to do, you can, in general, find a way to make it work in almost any language, including Perl. The trick is the "in detail" part... > I have data like this: How is your data, exactly? Is this the contents of a database table? Is it in a CSV text file, or just raw ASCII text? Do you already have some kind of two-way matrix in array of arrays? Something else? There's a lot of ways that this problem, in the abstract, could be solved, but the details will vary considerably depending on what the starting data looks like. For starters, it would help to have a clearer idea of what form the data is coming in as, and how it's being stored, either in your program or externally (file, database, etc). But in general, yeah, there are techniques for, essentially, getting the X,Y coordinates of a grid element. It may be overkill, but if you're looking for a book with such things, _Mastering Algorithms with Perl_ may not be a bad place to look. -- Chris Devers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
