Thanks all, I did read that about for loops somewhere new there was something. I wonder how many times I have corrupted stuff with the expectation of having a copy?*
I always make that mistake 'if( $a = 10 ) {' that is why I always 'use warnings' and, most importantly, correct the code. Pet peeve is 'use warnings' and then not cleaning them up. -- Ken Foskey FOSS developer * Just because it is tested and has been in production does not mean it is not wrong. :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
