Well, it turns out I need help after all. Either I need a better understanding of the overall function of this little routine, or just a simple explanation of how to save one group of text from the original array, to correspond with the text file being processed. It seems to me that the line I'm saving into the new array kicks out one paragraph at a time. I want to accumulate paragraphs from one text file until done, and then print it out. My limited knowledge of this sort of manipulation has me grasping at straws, and all I come up with is the last paragraph in the file. Would you be willing to help me out a little further with a means to save each text file in it's complete form, and then be able to catch the next file, one at a time. I'd be grateful for whatever you could add. Thanks again, Mark

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
