in thread Perl File Parsing - My Code Works, but it's Ugly!

Given the advice you took, no downvotes, handslaps or similar....
      BUT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE:

Please, do NOT ever remove anything you've posted*1* because doing so can take away the context of replies you may have received (or, perhaps, are even being written as you make you change). Instead, use <strike> content to be deleted before closing the tag </strike> to disavow, show that you've changed something, etc. AND add a warning about your changes -- something like "NOTE: updated (did such and such" -- in a way that makes clear what you did and why.

And, of course, WELCOME to PM!

*1* There are exceptions but they are beyond the scope of this advice.


As a newcomer, you'll find these worth reading.
