It's a conditional ternary operator. You can read about it in perlop. An equivalent to Zaxo's `print exists $search{$_} ? "$_ : Found $_\n" : "$_ : Not Found $_\n";` [download] would be this: `if (exists $search{$_}) { print "$_ : Found $_\n"; } else { print "$_ : Not Found $_\n"; }` [download] The result is the same, but the layout is more compact with less duplication. Do not rebuke them with harsh words ... but rather lead them gently - with URLs - so that they may learn wisdom.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
