excellent, thx hoinz - I tried that too, but I put the ! right next to the -name and it didn't work. off by a space!

How do you exclude a file from a find? for example, I want to find all files in a directory except for the file "xxxx" (if it exists)

billyray or jontymc, mind giving an example of how I could do that?

lol BillyRay, that was my arguement too. Jonty, that was also an option- saving data 'on the fly'. I'm not sure what the best method to do this would be though. Perhaps I could add a mysql table to contain temporary data, and every time a form field is unfocused it saves the data. Then if...

hmm.. I think it is too. Most users will be on macs, using either safari or mac IE (which is garbage and likely wont support it either)

I'm wondering what the best way to prevent users from accidentally closing the current window, or even navigating away from the page. The page in question is a data entry page, and since people tend to accidentally close windows, I want to add a script to pop up a confirmation box or something...

I'm hoping someone can explain why an array with one element, when 'shifted' in a subroutine continues to contain one element once the subroutine finishes. Consider the following: use Data::Dumper; @arrayone = [10, [1, 2, 3]]; @arraytwo = (); $number = 10; print "OUTSIDE...

excellent. thanks a lot guys

I'm sure this is simple, but I can't seem to align my thoughts right. I have a file that I'm reading into an array with a series of values. For the sake of arguement we'll say there's three numbers, then any number of other numbers. I want to store the first three numbers separately, and then...

if I have this code (using on a mysql database): while (my $row = $sth->fetchrow_arrayref) { foreach (@$row) { $_ = "NULL" unless defined } my (@end) = splice(@$row, -2); print join (", ",@$row)." - ".join(", ",@end)."\n"; } it will print the first row as it should, then it gives a...

EDIT: oops, bit off, here we go: "SELECT DISTINCT `staffid` FROM `staff` WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE users.`staffid` = staff.`staffid`) AND `has_user` = '1';

I found a solution... It required upgrading my mysql DB from 4.0 to 4.1 - but here it is: "SELECT staffid FROM staff s WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT u.staffid FROM users u WHERE u.staffid = s.staffid) AND s.has_user='1'" brilliant

Ok, here's the set-up. I have two tables, for simplicty, we'll say users and staff the important fields are users.userid users.staffid and staff.staffid staff.has_user (enum('0','1')) All users must have an associated staff id (hence the users.staffid) but not all staff needs an associated...

oh, PS - I mean MSN Messenger client... I'm simply looking for a way to change my nickname through a perl script instead of through the messenger interface... No real reason why.. just something to do

Anyone seen/have a working version of one? I found a couple modules, but they don't work. I think they may be outdated, but I'm not sure.
