Subject: Re: increasing counter whithin loop?

Hello again,


thanks for the answers. I have been very unclear what I wanted, but
Malte, Guy and JEGII seemed to have read my mind.

a=%w( a b b d b e )

a.each_with_index do |x, i|
  next if x == "b" and a[i - 1] == "b"
  if x=="b" and a[i+1]=="b"
    puts "double b"
  else
    puts x
  end
end

(slightly different code example, but closer to what I wanted).


I wonder why I cannot change the variable in 

for i in 0...x 
  
end

Or am I missing some magic?

Patrick
