Info: I know I know this... but I can't remember for nothing... Loop Index?

Isn't there a variable that will give you current loop index?

Perhaps you are thinking of the variable $foreach that let's you access the
enumerator object in a foreach statement. However this doesn't give you
current loop index. It does give you the current value and the ability to
directly call MoveNext(). When switch is looping, I think it has a similar
variable $switch that does the same thing.

Are you thinking of

$foreach
Refers to the enumerator in a foreach loop.

Thanks Keith/Rich... $foreach was what I was thinking, but I misunderstood
it's use. I was hoping to have a loop count so I could avoid having to
create my own... oh well
