Here is the raw text from my text file (the original source). It's created on a Windows machine (??in case that makes a difference with linefeeds vs. carridge returns??) then put on an apache web server.

Here's something that I need some education on: why is it when I just put the @Draw array into a hidden field, does it pass all the data, and when I use the code suggested, it only passes the first record? It seems to me from what I've read about CGI.pm that it would take all the hidden fields and put them into the @Draw array like I've specified. Oh well. Thanks all for your help so far!

(besides the >fact that I really have no idea what I'm doing? 8^) well i don't know offhand - i'd have to examine what's in @Draw. i'd suspect you may have more in there than chomp() can handle. can you post an example portion of @Draw that displays the strange behavior? btw, your loop can be rewritten as such: foreach (@Draw) { chomp; print "<input type='hidden' name='drawHidden' value='$_'>\n"; } or like this: map { chomp; print "<input type='hidden' name='drawHidden' value='$_'>\n"; } @Draw; without all that $item/$counter stuff. i don't understand what the $counter is for anyway since you're setting it to 0 on each loop iteration. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
