Simple : variable sanity check.

[lych]

I have such a stupid simple question.

I have a variable $key.

I want to test if it has a numeric value between 1 and $buildcount.

I looked at populating an array;

@range = (1 .. $buildcounter);

And using grep to exact match $key within @range. But I cannot get it to exact match. Can anyone point me in the right direction to a solution?

thanks

one possibility:

if ($key > 1 && $key < $buildcount) {
   do something
}
else {
   do something else
}

if you mean equal to or greater than 1 and $buildcount

if ($key >= 1 && $key <= $buildcount) {
   do something
}
else {
   do something else
}
