Here's a question of fair play: does each program have to work for any given text file, or is it ok if it just works on the test cases presented by tsanta? I can shorten my mid.pl by one stroke, and it still passes all the tests, but it will eventually fail when the file reaches a certain size. (down to 102...101 with the above 'cheat'...100 if I use that and Piers' die 'cheat') BradThread Previous | Thread Next
