Jshelton31: Welcome to the Monastery.
The recommended max length for posted code is something on the order of 15-20 lines (with the provisos that
- The code posted is compilable (passes perl -c script.pl), executable, and produces the same result with which you're dissatisfied
and
- When necessary, the posted code may be an adaption of a single small part of a larger program
TTBOMK, NodeReaper has never thrown a violator into the catacombs... permanently, that is. On the other hand, however, some Monks -- this one specifically included -- will not invest hours to solve a problem presented with some 1278 lines of code. Fifteen or twenty lines, yes; on a good day, maybe even more. But not 1278.
So, if you can, create a snippet illustrating the problem. And if the problem is so recalcitrant that you can't demonstrate it in 15 or 20 lines, read Markup in the Monastery, with special attention to the <readmore> tag set.
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.
