For the uninitiated: split ' ', $string does what split /\s+/, $string does, but also removes leading whitespace. The following code prints ||foo||bar||baz foo||bar||baz #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; print join('||', split /\s+/, " foo bar baz"), "\n", join('||', split ' ', " foo bar baz"), "\n"; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
