Topic awaiting preservation: Reading from a file to an array..

I'm trying to put every line in a file into an array:
How do I printout just that second line?
(It's not so much the printing of the second line, I'm just trying to learn how to call just one element of the array)

# Read the file into an array.
open(DBBOOK,"<$bookdata")

Your array is actually called "$raw_book", and that's why printing "$raw_entry[1]" shows nothing...

Correct code:

print "Line 2: " . $raw_book[1];

heh

FUCK! I hate it when it's a stupid error like that....

...so $raw_book[1] is what I was looking for....
