: ok, let's say you have a file where each line looks like this:
:
: --a-- 430 Fri Mar 19 18:32:47 1999 D:\Program Files\Common
: Files\Adobe\Web\AwePrefs.txt
:
: and you want to get the filename (and every other field) out of
: it, the obvious
: thing to split on is whitespace (\s+) which give something like
: the following:
:
: my ( $attribs, $size, $day, $mon, $date, $time, $year, $file ) =
: split(/\s+/,
: $line);
= split(' ', $line, 8); # ' ' is the same as /\s+/ in split
# last parameter n is the limit; everything after the (n-1)st
# chunk of whitespace is stuffed into the nth piece.
perldoc -f split
perldoc is your friend.
