Re^2: Check For Dupes In FLat DB Before Adding

Do you mean "last" rather than "break"? Also, I don't think "<<" is a valid open mode.
(Update/comment: If the record is found, why not "exit" rather than just break out of the loop? And otherwise just fall through to the append sub.)

As to the open mode, it should read... `## Append to file open(FH, ">>", "$filename") \|\| die "Cannot open $filename to append: $ +!\n";` [download] If the record is found, why not "exit" rather than just break out of the loop? Because I don't know what needs to be done next.	[reply] [d/l]

Because I don't know what needs to be done next. According to the OP, "if the email exists I would like to have it do nothing"	[reply]
