array help

Ottawa_IWOV

Hi All,

Is there a way to push all the elements of an array into one single variable. What I have is the is this

for ($z..$#xml_builds)
{
my $write_to_ea = @xml_builds[$z];
$z++;
}

Now I want all the elements in that array pushed into a variable so I can then write that variable to an Extended Attribute on a file in TeamSite.

Thanks.

First of all, you are once again using the for loop improperly (I believe someone else corrected you on this in an earlier post). You probably want this construct:

for ($z = 0; $z < $#xml_builds; $z++) {
}

That way you can use $z the way you want to in your block of code inside the loop. But you don't even need a for loop.

The answer to your main question is: yes, as long as the resulting value is one big string. You haven't said how you want this string to look when you're done. Do you want comma delimited values? Do you want all values just concatenated together? The simple answer is to use the "join" function. Read up on the perl "join" function and see if that works for you.
