proper way: @an_array = ();
or undef @an_array; # doesn't really free up the memory it used but the array is uninitialized -----Original Message----- From: Barry Kingsbury [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2002 10:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Reinitializing an Array I have an array that I wish to reuse. Before I reuse it, I want to clear out all elements. Both of the following seem to work: @an_array = ""; and $#an_array = -1; I then go on to do something like: foreach (@foo_array) { push (@an_array, $_); } Neither seems completely correct although I like the second. Is the second legal and portable or did I just luck out? Is there a better way? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- The views and opinions expressed in this email message are the sender's own, and do not necessarily represent the views and opinions of Summit Systems Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
