in reply to Separating by threes

Your guess about a table is spot on.....

my $err = join "\n", map { "Error $_<br>" } 0..100; my @errs = split /<br>\s*/, $err; $err = qq!<table width="100%">\n!; for ( my $i=0; $i<@errs; $i+=3 ) { $err .= sprintf "<tr><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td></tr>\n", map { defined $_ ? $_ : '' } @errs[$i..$i+2]; } $err .= "</table>\n"; print $err;

You could save yourself the split by simply pushing the errors into the @errs array in the first place.

cheers
