Subject: [ruby-talk:13665] Iterator Question

Hi all,

For a non numeric iterator is there a way to find out how many times the iterator has looped so far?

For instance I have an array of strings and I want to indent everything except the 1st string. Currently I have to do it like this

i = 0
array.each{|element|
	print "\t" unless i = 0
	i = i+1
	print element,"\n"
}

I have searched all the documentation available to me and can't find a way to do it without the i's. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
Farrel Lifson
