Sounds like you just need to use dispatching. i.e. make a hash which contains the possible commands/directions as keys, and has strings to output as values. (Or probably more useful, has coderefs as values to be run) C.	[reply]

Just use several `if` statements: `if ($DIRECTIONS eq 'NORTH') { print "$HERONAME HAS LEFT NORTH\n" } elsif ($DIRECTIONS eq 'SOUTH') { print "$HERONAME HAS LEFT SOUTH\n" } elsif ($DIRECTIONS eq 'EAST') { print "$HERONAME HAS LEFT EAST\n" } elsif ($DIRECTIONS eq 'WEST') { print "$HERONAME HAS LEFT WEST\n" }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I'd rather use a dispatch table: Implementing Dispatch Tables jeffa L-LL-L--L-LL-L--L-LL-L-- -R--R-RR-R--R-RR-R--R-RR B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B-- H---H---H---H---H---H--- (the triplet paradiddle with high-hat)	[reply]
