Re: Split and empty strings

[davorg]

Can you post some code. I don't think I understand what you're saying. I tried the following:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

$_ = 'This is
a string

with
newlines

and

blank lines';

my @arr = split /\n/;

print map { "|$_|\n" } @arr;

a nd it gave this output:

|This is|
|a string|
||
|with|
|newlines|
||
|and|
||
|blank lines|

which looks right to me. What were you hoping for?
