in reply to numbers not adding up!

It does get added to, but on the next line of input, you are resetting the value of $offset to $segOffset. Is that what you are seeing?

    Thanks for your prompt reply. I do reset the offSet value to segOffset when its done within the forloop and then reads the next line. Inside the forloop it should loop for 6 times and add up the offSet value to something like this below: 1st loop = 24 + 240 2nd loop = 244 + 240 3rd loop = 484 + 240 and so on....
