Please read the documentation for `pack` and `unpack`. It says there: `... When unpacking, "A" strips trailing spaces and nulls, "Z" strips everything after the first null, and "a" returns data verbatim. ...`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`$line="123456789"; @w=unpack('Z3Z3Z3',$line); print "@w";` [download] it worked nicely by giving outout as 123 456 789 in the command prompt but it is not working in the perl buider. not even execute the print statement while debugging.	[reply] [d/l]

Your problem might be that when printing with double quotes an implicit call to join (using $") is made. Dropping the double quotes would cause print to print the contents using $, as a seperator. So you man need to use join.	[reply]
