...you'd rather use a foreach type of iteration rather than an index counter. In that case, you collection would either be 1 in length or 25 in length, and the foreach iterator would simply run through the collection one by one - i.e. it wouldn't care whether it be one in length or a thousand.

New I appreciate elegant solutions, but ...
your [link|http://mathbits.com/MathBits/CompSci/looping/operator2.htm|Conditional Operator] solution was perfect.

It works!

I just have a couple of final things to clean up, then it'll be done.

\n   for (int k=0; k <= (hardcopy ? (MaxHeader-1) : 0); k++)\n   {\n   // Immediately check to see if this is only a single map.\n      if (!hardcopy) k = SelectedHeader;\n      \n      (( lots of other stuff))\n      \n   }\n


I had to add the equality to the for statement, otherwise the loop doesn't execute if I'm not printing. That meant that the end count had to be adjusted too.

Thanks very much for your help! I never would have figured this out without a pointer. :-)

Cheers,
Scott.

would leave the conditions as

for (int k=0; k < (hardcopy ? (MaxHeader) : 1); k++)

Less operations and more like the usual array traversal where to traverse n elements you say
for(int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
