The difference is that his if-else actually does something to the data while your if-else is practically a no-op (i.e. it does nothing except testing the values) Are you sure that what you see as 'N/A' on the screen is not really "N/A\n" or ' N/A '? Also you test `$h[$i]`, but print `$h[1]`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The `($h[$i] eq 'N/A') ? 0 : $h[$i];` is working ok. The question is what do you want to do with this? As of now the result will be lost ... You need to save it into some var and act on it or print it. Which one of the prints returns the N/A? If it's the first one `$h[0] = ($h[$i] eq 'N/A') ? 0 : $h[$i];` otherwise `$h[1] = ($h[$i] eq 'N/A') ? 0 : $h[$i];`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

thank you guys, I appreciate everyone's response and the clarification. Since I was not assigning it to the variable, it was giving the problem. it is fixed now :-)	[reply]
