If I have the following kind of data 500/00-7.1.19.3 I want to split it into separate variables as such $a = "500" $b = "00" $c = "7" $d = "1" $e = "19" $f = "3"
Here is what I have so far ($a,$g) = split("/",$projectnumber); ($b,$g) = split(/-/,$pa); ($c,$d,$e,$f) = split(/./,$g); print "$a xx $b xx $c xx $d xx $e xx $f xx $g \n"; the output is: 500 xx 00 xx xx xx xx xx 7.1.19.3 It appears to not be splitting on the . Does anybody have any ideas? _______________________________________________ Perl-Unix-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
