I fixed the ==, got rid of $x. @char is used somewhere else where it actually is an array so I borrowed the code from that and the $x stuck in there, and it wasn't causing a problem so I left it. I was trying to use $a=(); to make the sort work, in case I had defined $a and $b earlier and it was messing up the sort. I'll look up the other point you made in #4 to help with file opening. I know all this probably annoys you guys, but I'm still learning how to keep my code neat. syntax, then logic, then neatness I guess is the order in my book. But, that's what the forum is for, so we can all learn. I'm very thankful for your help and input.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
