Re^2: PL_rsfp_filters - what does it contain ?

thanks, Anno!
i search aroung PL_rsfp_filters but forget about av_len()
as i see in sources number of array's elements is always (av_len() + 1). so i can use statement like:
if ( (av_len(PL_rsfp_filters) + 1) > 1 )
that is equal to already founded checking:
if ( av_len(PL_rsfp_filters) > 0 )

i search aroung PL_rsfp_filters but forget about av_len() Ah yes, that's known as an XY problem: You asked (first yourself, then the Perl Monks) about the content of `PL_rsfp_filters` (that's X), but your problem was understanding `av_len()` (Y). Good thing you mentioned `av_len()` in the body of your query. It might have been unanswerable otherwise. `if ( av_len(PL_rsfp_filters) > 0 )` Right, that checks for two or more filters. In view of the problem you had with the statement, it probably deserves a comment: `if ( av_len(PL_rsfp_filters) > 0 ) { /* We only deal with a single filter /` [download] Anno Update:* Identified X and Y in the XY problem	[reply] [d/l] [select]
