hello I need some help badly on this slight technicality I am facing. I am reading every line of input into a scalar variable, spllitting on null, to get every character into an array, and then splicing. When I pring the array elements of interest, a space is appended to the input. Please help!!!
Code: .... while(defined($line=<F>)) { chomp($line); .... @l = split(//, $line); if ($l[69] eq " ") { @right = splice(@l, 70, $#l); @left = splice(@l, 0, 69); print F1 "@left\n"; print F1 "+ @right\n"; } example input: (continuuos) element 69 (at position 70) is the space HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH XXXX output: H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H + X X X X desired output would be like above output, without the spaces!!! so, is there a way when I splice to get rid of the space??? thanks this is probably a lot easier than I am making it out to be!! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
