Dear Monks,
I have a $line as such:
A::B:123-456 hh:mm:C::D:789
I am trying to split the string such that I will obtain the following in an array:
A
B
123-456 hh:mm
C
D
789
I have tried @array=split(/:/,$line); but the problem I am facing is that the hh:mm gets "caught in the action" too,ie.
A
B
123-456 hh
mm
C
D
789
What are your advice, please?
Kind Regards,
Cornelius

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
