stupid question involving for loops 1

[StormMedic85]

Stupid question...but how come in the loop if I print the array all the numbers in range show up, but outside of the loop only the last one (2454378) does? I'd like to be able to store all of these numbers (julian dates) into an array that I can manipulate the elements of later. Any ideas where I am going wrong? Thanks!

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

$sjdate = "2454374";
$ejdate = "2454379";

for($x=$sjdate; $x < $ejdate; $x++) {
@array = $x;
}

Because you're redefining the array each time, rather than adding to it. Try:

push @array, $x;

Ahhhh, ok I understand now. That makes sense. Thanks very much!

written simpler as:

$sjdate = "2454374";
$ejdate = "2454379";
@array = ($sjdate .. $ejdate);
