Re: How to find the index of an element in an array?

Dear Masters,
Perhaps this is too banal, but TIMTOWTDI!

perl -e '
@foo=('a','b','c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i'); 
$str = join("",@foo); 
$idx = index($str,'g'); 
print "$str-$idx\n";'
[download]

prints:

abcdefghi-6

This fails horribly when the array looks like `@foo=('a', 'bb', 'ccc', 'dddd', 'e' x 50);` [download] holli, /regexed monk/	[reply] [d/l]
