Oops..Sorry for the typo...Perl Arrays are 0 based arrays. So they start with 0.

So they start with 1. 2) For array, @item, $#item will give you the last index. Therefore the array's count number of elements can be obtained from $#item + 1 3) scalar(@item) will give you the total count number of elements. 4)@item[4] will give you the 5th element. But it is not an array element. It is actually a slice with one element. Don't worry about the gory details. You will get it fast with your learning curve. For now, do not use @item[4] but use $item[4]. That is the right way to go. -- Rex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
