actually i mis-quoted what i need here... been playing with perl for a good hour now and can't seem to get it.

I am in the swish.cgi file - right where it defines the title_property: "title_property => 'swishtitle'," 

Its there I want to do a if/then statement.. I am sure the problem has something to do with comma's and/or semi-colons; but i tried every combination i could think of ;-)

Want something like what is below (keeping it to only a few things for testing):


If ('swishtitle' ne '') {
      title_property => 'swishtitle';
} elseif ('strong' ne '') {
      title_property => 'strong';
} else {
      title_property => 'swishdocpath';
}


Basically = if there is no title, then use strong as the title, and if there is no strong, then use the path as the title.....I know the 'strong' is populated because if i change the above mentioned line to "title_property => 'strong'," it works on my search queries.

...what am i missing here (be gentle, new to this brand of programming ;-P )

thanks!

josh
