in reply to Problems with looping through an array

Wow, that's some funky code there. Rearrange it a little and you get what you wanted:

@ID = (1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,4,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,5); $evr_id = undef; $count = 0; $flag = 0; $processed = 1; print "\n"; foreach $a (@ID) { if ($evr_id != $a) { $count = 1; $evr_id = $a; print "\n$processed) $a-$count\n"; } else { $count++; print "$processed) $a-$count\n"; } $processed++; }

If you just want counts, then you probably want the other two solutions. If you're looking for series, then this would probably be preferred.
