Re: Super newbie array question

Just push the anonymous arrays onto your array without quoting them. Otherwise you have an array of strings.

my @ranges = ();
push @ranges, [172,178];
push @ranges, [183,189];
push @ranges, [201,208];
[download]

Note that if you used strict (you should always use strict), Perl would have told you what the problem was: Can't use string ("[172,178]") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use.

Hope this helps!

update: clarified terminology

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

Aha! I see, that did the trick! And, if I may ask one more thing: if I have `$var1 = 172` and `$var2=178` instead of the raw numbers themselves, how can I do the `push` then?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Interesting, it seemed to work: `push @ranges, [$var1,$var2];` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
