Varible
hi all, is there any way of referring to individual members of a varible.

like var=kati
so $var(1)='k' or somthing like that.

i am trying to display the file format in a tabular form..
so i thot i can use a loop for checking the exact value of each character and then displying the file permissions in a table..
