Regardless of the language the majority of things the average person wants accomplish with code can be broken down into a series of simple steps. 1. Learn what a variable is and how to populate it. variable = fred 2. Learn what an array (aka list) is and how to populate one with variables. array = red, green, blue 3. Learn how to test a variable. if ( variable > 0 ) do this; else do that;. 4. Learn how to loop through an array and test each element. for ( variable in array ) ; if ( variable > 0 ) do this; else do that. I would suggest starting a shell (command prompt, command line), no server setup required. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/bash-for-loop/ // Brad // Brad ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Dspam-user mailing list Dspam-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspam-user
