Re^4: Printing an array using while loop

(drifting off-topic...)

It was actually useful for me, even though it's not a homework assignment :)

I wanted to send the results to a file (not a problem), but this syntax caused a space to be inserted at the beginning of the second and subsequent lines. I'm already generating the array elements with a terminating newline, so I had to use:

print FILE join( "", @array );

To get what I wanted.

Thanks though, for helping me to think outside of the looping concept.

Why join? If you're already generating the array elements with a terminating newline, why not just: `c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -e "my @ra = (qq{bat\n}, qq{ball\n}, qq{glove\n}); print @ra; " bat ball glove` [download] Give a man a fish: `<%-{-{-{-<`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
