Hi,
I couldn't seem to find a built-in function for finding the index
of an element in an array...so I wrote this one:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
# position_of returns the position of a string in an array of strings,
# and -1 if the string is not a member of the array.
sub position_of {
my ($x,@y) = @_;
foreach $z (0..$#y) {
if (@y[$z] eq $x) {
return ($z);
}
}
return -1;
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------
it works.... but somehow i feel there's a built in function for this
thanks.
