Re^2: why does typo work?

Lots of great info in such a short time! Thanks a lot. Using range operator made it all easy. But, I'm not exactly sure why it works.( "..0") Could you explain what it's doing, please ?

perlop: "If either operand of scalar ".." is a constant expression, that operand is considered true if it is equal ("==") to the current input line number (the $. variable" Since the line number is never 0, it prints until the end of file. This is a bit too obsure, IMO, i'd do it like that: `if ( ($payperiod =~ /$start_day/) .. eof ) { ... }` [download] (parens also added for clarity)	[reply] [d/l]
