They all have an equal number of items. I think there is a function
I could use. Can you tell me what it is called and I can look up
the information. Thanks for your help.
Ok, if you can guarantee that each array has the same number of items, here is what you want: (There are more Perlish ways to do this, but this way is clear on what is happening.)
for ( $i = 0; $i < @1; $i++; )
{
print "$1[$i]\t$2[$i]\t$3[$i]\n";
}What we are doing here is stepping through the arrays simultaneously, starting at the bottom. We assume all the arrays are exactly as long as @1. (Um, you do have better names in the real code, right?) $i is the index of our current place in all the arrays, and will cycle from 0 to the length of @1 minus 1.
You didn't need all the .'s and "'s, so I left them out. ;-)
