No output display for Array input from STDIN	Can't Post

Hi,

I tried to run a sample program which gets an array input from the user using the Perl Express tool. But After entering the input in the Interactive I/O window, the output is not getting displayed. I tried to enter CTRL+D to indicate the end of the file. But I am getting a beep sound like its a invalid operation.

@input = <STDIN>;

print (@input);

Kindly let me where I went wrong. Thanks in advance!

windows uses CTRL-Z as an end-of-file.

It is probably better to read one line at a time. Define you own word to end the input.

Untested.

Code

my @array 
while ( my $line = <>) { 
    print "Enter one line of data ('END' to quit)\n"; 
    last if $line eq 'END'; 
    push @array, $line; 
}

Good Luck,
Bill
