Hi,

I have an array ----> @array = qw(alf bert charlie 4)

and I want a string that contains this value < 'alf','bert','charlie','4' > with the single quotes and commas.

I know I can do this $string = join ( ',' , @array); which gives me this ----> < one|two|three|four> but how do I get the single quotes around each word.


Also, how can I check if one of the values is numeric so I dont put quotes around it? So the result is like this ---> <  'alf','bert','charlie',4 > 

Thanks


Gus
