Tom
I thought taking a string and assigning it to an array would do it
and I was wrong.
Here is a sample line of source;
"2004-08-03 23:57 1,712,128 GdiPlus.dll" and the
recommended split gives me 13 for the number of items. I would like
an array that has "2004-08-03", "23:57","1,712,128","GdiPlus.dll" as
the elements of the array.
Thanks,
Andrew

What's wrong with it? Was that just some Perl-like code that you typed
at random, or was there some reason to think that it would do what you
want?

Do you want split?
my @pieces = split / /, "a b c d";
I feel that I'm guessing (badly?) at what you want. Am I close? If
you're not trying to break up a string on space, what are you trying
to do?
Hope this helps!
