Re: Adding Array References to an Array

It's going to be a tad difficult to figure out what's going on without enough data (a sample of the input file, say). It may well be that you're getting 1 element because that's all there is.

There are some stylistic issues with your code:

$_ =~ /$ARGV[0]/ is equivalent to the more usual /$ARGV[0]/. If $ARGV[0] can contain metacharacters (backslash, periods, etc), it probably should be quoted.
if($tfl_contents[9] ne "") (you did have a null string, no?) may be better written as if($tfl_contents[9]).

As chromatic notes, in his response, replacing

if($tfl_contents[9] ne "")
[download]

with

if($tfl_contents[9])
[download]

may also be worse, e.g. if there's a 0 in that location.

`if($tfl_contents[] ne "")` (you did have a null string, no?) may be better written as `if($tfl_contents[9])`. It may be worse, too, if there's a `0` in that slot.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
