Hi BioGeek.
In the spirit of diversity, I'd like to offer this contribution:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $num;
while() {
print 'Enter a number between 1 and 10 (inclusive): ';
chomp( $num = <STDIN> );
if( $num gt "9" ) {
print "Numbers only. That was a string!\n";
next;
}
if( $num < 1 || $num > 10 ) {
print "Please enter a value greater than one or less than 10\n";
next;
}
print "Thank you. You entered $num\n";
last;
}
Hope this helps,
-Katie

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
