The issue with $" has already been answered, but I just wanted to put out something about the regex you're splitting on: my @record = split /(["<",">"])/; You've got a character class there, with some redundant characters. It's actually equivalent to the character class ["<>,]. I'm not sure if that's what you meant with the quotes and the comma. You're also getting the delimiters in your resulting array, because of the capturing parens in the regex.

Here's another way of solving the problem, that I think is a tiny bit simpler:

while (<OLDFILE>) { chomp; my($last, $first, $email) = split /, */; $email =~ tr/<>//d; print NEWFILE "$last, $first, $email\n"; }

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
