Re: A silly (I think) question

Hello Eric,   You need the pattern matching...   $line = `some command`; chomp $line; @fields = split (/ /, $line); foreach ($fields) { print "$_\n"; }   Peter Nguyen   ----- Original Message ----- From: Eric Hennessey To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 15, 2003 11:11 AM Subject: A silly (I think) question I've got an issue with a split function, or at least I THINK that's where I'm having the problem.   Given that $line is one line of output from a command in column format, I run the following:   $line = `some command`; chomp $line; @fields = split $line;   This should produce a list of strings from $line, right?   Any idea why I'd have an empty list when $line contains the expected data as verified from a print command?   Thanks in advance!
