Re: Using an array of file handles

Easy workaround:

for my $handle (@in_fh) {
    while (<$handle> ) {
        print ;
    }
}

You also have an "off-by-one" error: $i <= $count which you would have spotted by using strict and warnings.

Thank you hdb. Yes, sure, but finding a workaround was not really my problem (I actually presented one in my original post), my problem was that I was convinced that it was possible to read lines directly from something like `<{$a[$c]}>`, and it turns out that this was wrong. As for the off-by-one error, you're correct, but it's a mistake I did when trying to simplify the code for the post, I did not have the error in my slightly more complicated original code. Yes, I am using `strict` and `warnings` for all my programs (except possibly very simple one-liners).	[reply] [d/l] [select]
