If you really want some help, create a code snippet with all of the arrays defined and containing some values (init them - don't read any data files that we don't have). Then create the output array as you would expect to have it created (again just make it a static init of an array). Show the looping part of it to. With that done, we should be able to figure out exactly what you want and where the data/vrbls are coming from. -- ,-/- __ _ _ $Bill Luebkert ICQ=14439852 (_/ / ) // // DBE Collectibles Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] / ) /--< o // // http://dbecoll.tripod.com/ (Free site for Perl) -/-' /___/_<_</_</_ Castle of Medieval Myth & Magic http://www.todbe.com/ _______________________________________________ Perl-Unix-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
