How come this never displays "Yes!" ?
input.dat:
fred
20.4
harv
5.6
tony
5.13
dennis
401.1
My code:
open(FILE, "input.dat");
@list;
while(<FILE>) {
chomp;
push @list, $_;
}
$i="harv";
$loc=-1;
$cnt=0;
foreach $list(@list) {
if($i eq $list) {
print "YES!\n";
}
}

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
