STDIN in list context

[varaprasad yadav]

i have created an array
print "Enter a string";
@list = <STDIN>;
print @list;
when i excute this it is always in input mode even though i go to new line by pressing enter or if i try bypressing ctrl z

Are you using Linux or Windows? In Linux, I believe the EOF character is indicated by Ctrl-D. In Windows, it's Ctrl-Z.

If you want the print to return upon pressing enter. Store the input into a scalar as such:

my $temp = <STDIN>;
print "$temp";

Hi,

The array size is not mentioned so that it doesn't know which element
is last, so that it doesn't print anything. So u must give Ctrl+Z to terminate,
then it wl show the result..
Thanks
