You had an array of 4 items (0=a 1=b 2=c 3=d), and you pull out the first one (index 0). Now you have (0=b 1=c 3=d). You for statement happily goes on to check the next index 1, but it has skipped over checking b because the indices change. Anyway, I could have sworn I had that problem, so I would run the loop in reverse. for (my $i = $#addrlist; $i >=0; $i--) { if ($addrlist[$i] eq $addr) { splice (@addrlist, $i, 1); } } This way you don't run into problems with indices changing underneath you. -- Jim Crumley | crumley at fields.space.umn.edu | Work: 612 624-6804 or -0378 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
