in reply to Typeover output

l8on,

Another trick is to use the modulus operator (%) to only print every 100th, 1000th, etc., line number:

YuckFoo 

#!/usr/bin/perl

  $|++;

  for my $i (0..10000000) {
   $i % 100000 or print "line: $i\r";
  }

    Thanx everyone. I knew that I should've been able to do it, but couldn't figure it out.

    And to quote a classic:
    "Now I know, and knowing.... is half the battle."

    Thanx again, L8on
