Re^5: retrieving in the correct order

Yes, but are you loading @array2 with qq or qw? You must use qw if your code is anything like the above.

Try this: add the line print "There are ", scalar(@array2), " elements\n";right after you assign to it, and see if it has as many elements as you think it does.

Do not rebuke them with harsh words ... but rather lead them gently - with URLs - so that they may learn wisdom.

Infact, I was not using either qq or qw - the values come from earlier in the script. I tried your test and the array has exactly the amount of elements that I thought.	[reply]

OK, it sounds like your code is fairly different from what you've posted. You're going to have to sprinkle print statements or use the Perl debugger to see what's going wrong. My little test loop worked fine with your sample data, modified as I outlined above, so something else must be the problem.
