Re^2: BerkeleyDB continue

Interrupted: I have to turn off my computer and it stops the code from running. What is the flush step? It is truncating the database whenever it is initialized with that tie command and writes to the hash. So maybe I need to put a flush statement into an END block?

No , berkeleydb won't do that -- if truncation is occurring, its a problem with the code you did not show So maybe I need to put a flush statement into an END block? Sure, if an END block will get executed after you interrupt it, put it there -- see Signals and END block	[reply]
