Re^2: trying to populate curses menus from text files

[boscaiolo]

Ken:

Thanks for your reply. You divined my intention exactly in spite of my rather minimal information! In fact, I do not need the regex match since the text file comprises one item per line (as I omitted to explain), so my $label = $_; is all I need.

Your suggested is lucid and perfect to my needs. I don't know why I find hash and array operations so confusing.
