Hi dZ, According to documentation, the prototype of split has a third parameter:
split /PATTERN/, EXPR, LIMIT If LIMIT is omitted in the function call, then "trailing null fields are stripped from the result", as the Camel book states. I also stumbled on it a few times... -- Andreas -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von DZ-Jay Gesendet: Montag, 5.

For example, this: my @foo = split(/,/, 'this,is,a,test,,'); yields: this is a test while I'm expecting: this is a test '' '' Is there any way around this? I need to split strings on a specific delimiter and detect all null fields within the string, including trailing ones. Thanks in advance! dZ. _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs **************************************************************************************** Note: If the reader of this message is not the intended recipient, or an employee or agent responsible for delivering this message to the intended recipient, you are hereby notified that any dissemination, distribution or copying of this communication is strictly prohibited.
