Re^4: Is there a -e test for directories, like there is for files?

Wait - what's wrong with my indenting? I usually do:

if (conditions) {
  do something
  }
while (<>) {
  etc..
  }

The only thing I can see that's different is where I indent the closing brackets to. I usually put them even with the do something rather than even with the if (conditions). Is that wonky?

Huh. Oh. I guess I could try to convert my habit.....

But seriously, thanks for the help. I may have one or two additional things later on having tangentially to do with this, but for now, I'm great. Thanks.

Matt

FWIW, I was looking at this earlier post of yours a couple of days ago and, like ikegami, I didn't initially fathom the pattern of indenting you used. Once I understood your convention, the code was perfectly readable but, at first glance, the indenting style was not obvious and the code was as a consequence difficult to access. This is not meant as a criticism, just an observation following on from ikegami's post. Your indenting is perfectly logical and consistent but unusual. We all have our own coding styles and foibles and I'd hate to work somewhere where I was forced to conform to someone else's idea of good style. Cheers, JohnGG	[reply]

Sorry, I hadn't noticed the pattern when I made that comment. Forget I said anything.	[reply]
