I've rewritten the algorithm, but it still is not working correctly. Files 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are all present, 6 and 7 are missing and 8 is present.
When it gets to the first missing file (6) it skips right over 6 and 7 without running the code in the if statement, but then runs the if statement code for file 8. This has got me baffled to say the least, any help is greatly appreciated. for(my $i = 2, my $j = 1; $i <= $last;$i++, $j++) { if ($j ne $fileNames[$i]) { print "Sending missing for file: $fileNames[$i]"; &sendMissing($j); &pause; next; } -- Michael D.
