Hi guys, i've got the following code below 
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM `mml log` WHERE Commands LIKE '%$I
+MSI%'");
$sth->execute();

my $numFields = $sth->{'NUM_OF_FIELDS'};

while (my $ref = $sth->fetchrow_arrayref){

    for (my $i=0; $i<$numFields; $i++){
           printf ("%s  %s", $i ? "," : "", $$ref[$i]);
}
}

[download]
it prints the results from mysql if i find a match but say i am unable to find a match i want to output to users " sorry no matches found"
i need a (if..else) statement..but how do i determine if the fetchrow_arrayref is empty in the condition of the if..else statement?

In reply to how to determine of fetchrow_Arrayref is empty? by poolboi
