The line you mentioned should be as follows: while(1) { print $e[($i %= @e) ++], "\b"; } ^^ the "%" can't be omitted. the modulo's values should be 0 to 3 and loops back again. I think as long as the number of elements of the array doesn't overflow, you can use it safely. what do you mean by "auto flush"? ======= At 2002-11-27, 15:15:00 you wrote: ======= >John, > >I would like to know if i understood this line clear. > >while (1) { print $e[ ($i = @e)++ ], "\b"; } > >so modulo's values are 0 then 1 then 2 then 0 (tehn loops back again). >This will make it loop and print the 4 values of my array. > >is this applicable for all arrays with unlimited number of elements? > >how about auto flush? what does it do? > >rgds, >nix > >-----Original Message----- >From: John W.
