It is a simple example of how you could use split to manage a line of text like you supplied. It will not work out of the box. You will in fact have to learn what the code does and customize it to your needs ... or even refactor it in a way that suits you better	[reply]

... I did not understand what the pipeline does ... The `\|` (pipe) character merely serves as a visual demarcation in the code example to allow the result of the operations to be better seen. Same thing as `$selected = $1 . " \| " . $2 . " \| " . $3 . " \| " . $4. " \| " . $5;` here.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
