hi guys, i have this big project that accepts user inputs from an html form page. my problem is that i have 243 text inputs and my script is ovekilling with something like this. print FH "$FORM{item1}\t$FORM{qty1}\n" if $FORM{qty1}; print FH "$FORM{item2}\t$FORM{qty2}\n" if $FORM{qty2}; print FH "$FORM{item3}\t$FORM{qty3}\n" if $FORM{qty3}; up to .... print FH "$FORM{item243}\t$FORM{qty243}\n" if $FORM{qty243}; would you image what a waste of time coding 243 FORM inputs. is there a shortcut way for this like this one.... for ($i=1;$i<=243;$i++) { FH "$FORM{item$i++}\t$FORM{qty$i++}\n" if $FORM{qty$i++}; } but that won't work.... i am beginning to go balistic here.. help please.
