Re: How do I loop through a multidimensional array?

Thank you very much! You're correct, those other errors where typos generated by a combination of too much sleep and too little coffee (or was it the other way around?) when simplifying the question into an example. Your suggestion was just the elegant solution I was looking for, thanks! The corrected example would then be:

$items[0]{title} = "Song 2";
$items[0]{artist} = "Blur";
$items[1]{title} = "The Call of Khtulu";
$items[1]{artist} = "Metallica";

foreach $item (@items) {
    print $item->{artist};
    print $item->{title};
}

Actually, your data structure initialisation could be a little more elegant too. Try this: `my @items = ({ title => 'Song 2', artist => 'Blur' }, { title => 'The Call of Khtulu', artist => 'Metallica' });` [download] Oh, and I knew that Metallica aren't very intelligent, but can they really not spell "Cthulhu"? -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> Perl Training in the UK <http://www.iterative-software.com>	[reply] [d/l]
