Re^2: Tree path analyzer regex problem (maybe other issues)?

Thanks -- that does exactly what I want. Can you explain what some of the magic does? Specifically:

 foreach my $i (0 .. $#last)
[download]

and

 foreach my $i (0 .. $#last)
[download]

I would not describe that as magic. Range Operators (written as `..`) produce a list of integers between the two limits. As described in Variable names, `$#array` returns the index of the last element of `@array`. "Magic" usually involves (from my perspective) either action-at-a-distance or Perl typing in the background. These are just operators.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
