Perfect!  Thank you, my mind was out in left field somewhere.

 Hi Scott,

  a)strip out the first line of the second file
  b)test for conditions based on what is on the next line on the file
  
  An example, I start the array on file one, then mid-way I start another
  array on the second file (this array within in the first).  I need to
  check the next line in the file for a condition to exist.
  
  I have tried this, but run into the pointer resetting on each pass.
  
  Any thoughts would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
 
 
 Use explicitly array pointers instead of the 'built-in' ones, then:
 
 your need to look-ahead becomes array[$ptr + 1] 
 avoiding the first record becomes for ( $i=1; $i$last; $i ++ ) //instead of $i=0
 
 Does that cover things?

[PHP] file reading and array's

2002-02-11 Thread Scott

Hi gang:

In my constant effort to improve my perl conversion project, I have a
question regarding file reading.  I am taking two files and combining
them in an array and then writing out a new file.  Is there a way to:
a)strip out the first line of the second file
b)test for conditions based on what is on the next line on the file

An example, I start the array on file one, then mid-way I start another
array on the second file (this array within in the first).  I need to
check the next line in the file for a condition to exist.

I have tried this, but run into the pointer resetting on each pass.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
