What you have here "@f[6,2..$#f]" is an array slice. Any indexes appearing within the brackets will be included. If you wanted to exclude 0,1,and 6, you could do it this way:
@f[2..5,7..$#f]; -----Original Message----- From: Mike Singleton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2002 11:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: help with commenting code.. How would I skip an index?? i.e. I want to skip 0,1, and 6 ?? @f[6,2..$#f] ?? >>> Timothy Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 09/12/02 09:47AM >>> $#f stands for the last index of the array @f. So 2..$#f means "from index 2 to the last index". This means that the code is skipping $f[0] and $f[1]. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Singleton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2002 9:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: help with commenting code.. # grep each line for the declared variables while (<IN>) { print "parsing $_"; if ( /$JOBSTART|$TASKSUM|$TASKDET|$TASKEND|$ERROR|$JOBEND/i ) { # remove spaces and replace with commas my @f = split /\s+/,$_,9; print OUT join (',', @f[2..$#f]) ; ---> What does this line (above) do?
