split(//,$string); _____
From: Pedro Soto [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 04 September 2007 13:50 To: Andrew Curry Cc: beginners@perl.org Subject: Re: spliting Well, Sorry if I was not clear enough. I want to read lines from a file and I need to split the line into characters. I know you can use the split function from perl to do this, but I have not space or commas or dots in between. So the file looks like(e.g ): line1 ADCBFSDSSDDFFGTESDFGG line2 BGCDFGYRTEDGHHJJJKKKKL etc I want to know how can I separate this characters as I need to retrieve for example the character number 5 in line 1 and character 45 in line 2 and so on.

I would like to split every line into its 60 characters, but there is not any delimiter between them. Something like: ABCDEFGHIJK etc. Is there anyway to do it? Many thanks in advance, Cheers, P.
