looping through an array with empty cells

[jamsman]

i need to loop through an array and print the content (plus other things) the array contains empty cells e.g. if i try to use the while(@array) loop i stops when it gets an empty cell any ideas

thanks

you realy shouldn't use while with an array, use "for" or "foreach".

Kevin is right, you don't really want to use a while loop to iterate over an array. Try something like:

my @array = ('a', 'b', undef, 'c');
foreach (@array) {
    defined() ? print : next;
}

rhash,
Just teasing you here a little! ;-)

my @array = ('a', 'b', undef, 'c');
defined && print foreach (@array);

Trojan - nothing wrong with a little teasing here and there, but there is a little method to my maddness. (-:

The syntax you posted makes it hard to do the 'other things'.
