Hi All,
I'm trying to generate random sentences using a few words, but can't get the thing to work...... I know I'm doing something wrong but what? :-D Any help is appreciated! #!/usr/bin/perl -w # my $count = "0"; my $word0 = "aap"; my $word1 = "nood"; my $word2 = "mies"; my $word3 = "boot"; my $word4 = "pet"; my $word5 = "boom"; my $word6 = "klok"; my $word7 = "bel"; my $word8 = "fiets"; my $word9 = "toeter"; while ($count < 5) { ++$count; print "Test number $count\n"; wordgen(); } sub wordgen { my $number = int(rand(10)); $firstword = $word{$number}; print "firstword is $firstword\n"; } - Marco van Kammen Springer Science+Business Media System Manager & Postmaster - van Godewijckstraat 30 | 3311 GX Office Number: 05E21 Dordrecht | The Netherlands - tel +31(78)6576446 fax +31(78)6576302 - www.springeronline.com <http://www.springeronline.com> www.springer.com <http://www.springer.com/> -
