Re: Split at specific spaces

Another way returning the split parts only:

perl -E 'say for split /\S+\s+\S+\s+\S+\K\s+/, "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9"'
[download]

Or written shorter:

perl -E 'say for split /(?:\S+\K\s+){3}/, "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9"'
[download]

`perl -E 'say for split /\S+\s+\S+\s+\S+\K\s+/, "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9"'` Neat!++ It never crossed my mind that /K would work with split.

As a newbie I'm reading and deciphering your response. My reference material doesn't seem to mention "K" anywhere. Can you (or anyone) enlighten me?	[reply]
