Hello All ,

I have a probelme with mycode . I have written a code which accpets the character from a keyboard and checks , whether the input character is same as in the array on a character by character basis.

But , while it takes the input .its getting executed twice . Even I tried with STDIN , its hanging up after input so , no further processing .

Please help me to get rid of this .

My code is 

 

<code>

#! /usr/bin/perl 

open (FILE, "c:\\Users\\yashu\\Desktop\\SNLP\\EX4\\test.txt" ) || die 
+$!;

undef($/);
$mytext = <FILE>;
$mytext = lc($mytext);
$mytext =~ s/[^a-z|]/ /g;
@wordarray = split(//,$mytext);

print "@wordarray \n ";
$len =@wordarray ;
print "\n the lenght of the array is : $len ";
$i=0;
$j=0;
$iter=0;
while ($i<=$len-1)
{
print " \n Value of i is : $i ";
print " \n Value of j is : $j  ";
print " \n Value of  character in array is : $wordarray[$i]  ";
print " \n Enter the character : ";
$char = getc();
#$char = substr($character,1);
print " input is $char ";
chomp($char);
print " \n inputted character is : $char ";
   if ( $char eq $wordarray[$j])
   { 
     print "Correct !!";
     $iter++;
     $count[$i]=$iter;
     $j++;
     $i++;
     $iter=0;
  }  
else 
{
print "\n Wrong please try again ";
$iter++;
print "\n Number of attempts : $iter ";
}
}
