Re^3: split function

in thread split function

It seems that data file can split up to 17th elements and then the rest will start to split on the next line.

I don't see from your output that split would behave in this way, but you can easily verify this, by doing a

print "LINE JUST READ IS: [$_]\n";

just before the split.

Thanks all. I think the problem is happened on the readline. After I add the line before the split

 print "Line just read is $_\n";

the output is

Line just read is 1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10;11;12;13;14;15;16;17;18;19;20;

Line just read is 21;22;23;24;25;26;27;28;29;30;31;32;33;34;35;36

I also checked the lenght of each line is limited 51. Anyone would have clue?

Have a clue about what?

Hopefully you're sufficiently convinced split function isn't broken, so your question is?

[tcheungcm]

I don't think split function is an issue. it's something related when I tried to read a file. it only read the line up to length = 51 and then it will continue to read on the nextline. I already checked the file, there is no newline in the file.

Did you hexdump your data file?
