in reply to Match within array

I think you'd find walking through your script with the perl debugger instructive. For instance, $i has the scalar value 13006, I'll bet.

I think what you need is just a hash, using the probe names as keys, and the genes as values. Then your regex match on $probe_ID becomes a simple hash lookup...

    Bet lost :-) 

    $ perl -wle 'my $i = (0..13005); print $i'

    It's not evaluated as a list (of which the last element is taken), but rather as a flip flop that matches against $_ $..

      Gah, foiled by the scalar flip-flop again :)
