Can anyone tell me why " print $rec->[4] " prints but print "$recs[0]->[4] does not print a thing ? I've confimed the data, the first row in the fourth column is an "F" $rec->[4] prints it, but $recs[0]->[4] does not !!!!!!! ARG !!!!@#@!#!!!@@!!@!! PS: I'm using DBI, my DBI object is $db my @recs; my $sql = shift; my $st = $db->prepare($sql); my $rc = $st->execute(@_); my $rec; while ($rec = $st->fetchrow_arrayref) { print @$rec,"\n"; print "|$rec->[4]|\n"; push @recs, $rec; } $st->finish; print " Ref: $recs->[0][4]\n";Thread Next
