Re: Adding Pages

[Not_a_Number]

Not quite sure what you're trying to do. It would be helpful if you supplied (a small but representative sample of) your input data, and the output that you would expect from this.

However, I can tell you that this line:

$. % $lines == 0 ? <> : print "\n";

is wrong.

First, since you have read the whole file into an array (@lines), and then you iterate over this array in a foreach loop, you can't use the input line number ($.).

Second, you use a variable $lines, which has not been initialised anywhere in your code. I imagine you mean $viewlines.

Update: Corrected typo (s/$!/$./;). Thanks Laurent_R.

Hello Not_A_Number
The sample input data would be this:

Chevy Tahoe:Bob
Ford Escape:Don
Chevy Malibu:Chris

Say I just want the first two lines and then page to the final line...of course there will be several input lines..the out put is I would like to page through the data instead of all the data show up in the console screen and have to scroll down to view everything. I hope I explained this thoroughly. Thanks in advance.
