RE: For loop aliasing AND changing an array within a loop.

While stepping through the code I wrote, I distinctly noted that the substitution on $_ did NOT affect the array and vice versa. If anyone insists on adding or deleting elements of an array from within a loop, you can ... you just have to update either $_ or what $_ is aliased to, like the original

@INC question after conversion to linux.

2002-12-21 Thread Michael Hooten
I have added RedHat linux as a boot alternative to Win 2k. Of course, the stability of linux is superb but I am not yet accustomed to compiling every single thing I need that is not pre-installed. As far as perl, I would like to permanently add /usr/local/lib/perl to @INC without specifically havi

Redirection of printf function?

2002-10-29 Thread Michael Hooten
Is it possible to assign the output of the printf function to a scalar variable instead of writing the output to STDOUT? For instance, I would like the output of printf stored in $text: $format = '| %4s | %-16s | %6s | %6s | %4s |'; @data = 'col1' .. 'col5'; $text = printf $format, @da

You can do this from Perl if you wish. What follows is VBA code that does almost everything you want. You will have to convert it to Win32 Perl. (Hey, I can't do everything for you.) What is excluded is info regarding the username and password. This info is definitely in the Outlook VBA help file.

RE: another reg-ex question

2002-10-21 Thread Michael Hooten
If I understand you correctly, you are trying to process an array of an array--each element of an array contains an anonymous array. Is this correct? Given the fact that you would like to pull out a specific user, you should use a hash of a hash (a hash containing anonymous hashes). Also, since y
