RE: counting differently

[Chacon-Taylor, Monique]

An easy way   Define an array with the alphabet @alphabet=("a","b",...) $i=0 $temp=$alphabet[$i]   "meaning $temp="a" $temp=$alphabet[$i+1] will now be "b" -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 23, 2004 6:52 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: counting differently Is there a way to force a variable to walk through the alphabet the way it can numbers?   ie: for numbers:  $k=0; $k=$k+1; would give you 1   for letters $k='a'; $k=$k+1; this won't give you 'b'; but is there any way of doing this that will?
