in reply to Re: recursive array search
in thread recursive array search

Perfect! This is exactly the type of solution I was looking for. Thanks. To All - Problem solved, thanks for the input. Sorry about the confusion, but I wasn't looking for help with determining a successful match, rather I was concerned with how to reduce my search time by getting away from
foreach $element(@array){ foreach $compare(@array){ } }
FYI - my processing time was cut from 12 minutes to less than two with this suggestion! Much thanks!
