in thread Reading File Into Array

I think i realised this after your message . What i was think of as an array was in fact a list ?. I changed my code accordingly and it worked

sub read_file {
    @lines = <>;
    chomp(@lines) ;
    $oldlines = join (',',@lines);
    $oldlines =~ s/,/\n/xg;
    print $oldlines;
    

 }
 &read_file;

I'm still not clear about your understanding of lists and arrays, but this is definitely an improvement. However, please note, the ampersand in the subcall is unnecessary... and unwise. Super Search will reveal many explanations. Spirit of the Monastery	[reply] [d/l]
