OOOOPPSII!!!

forgot to tell it to exit the foreach!!

$SearchString = "Lalala";

$counter = "0";
foreach @YourArray {
if ($_ == $SearchString) {$exit = "y";}
if ($exit != "y") {$counter++;}
}

print qq~"$SearchString"  is number $counter in YourArray.~;

probably a better way, but this should work.

$SearchString = "Lalala";

$counter = "0";
foreach @YourArray {
unless ($_ == $SearchString) {
$counter++;
}
}

print qq~"$SearchString"  is number $counter in YourArray.~;
