This is the ONLY way I can get the ID=x value. I tried both your example and many others. They all produced a single character, not the complete value. This is producing the exact result. So obviously something is using it. > > URI> why the quotes? you don't need to quote something if it is a single value Point taken, I will remove them. > > > URI> use named variables and not $_ whenever you can. it makes for better > code and it is easier to follow. there are cases where $_ must be used > and some places where it is good but names are better in general I'm getting 5 values and I need to do something different with each of them. I believe that is when $_ is helpful as each iteration through the loop will be a different value. It seems to be to be a shorter way and relatively clean to do in this instance. If there is a better way , please enlighten me. > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
