If your strings could contain embedded commas then use Text::CSV_XS or similar to split it into an array, then all or any from List::Util to check that none or some are blank.

use Text::CSV_XS; use List::Util qw /any/; my $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new; my @strings = ( 'a,b,c,d,e,f', 'a,b,,d,e,f', 'a,b,"c,and,some,commas",d,e,f', 'a,b,c,d,e', ); foreach my $string (@strings) { print "Checking $string\n"; my $status = $csv->parse ($string); my @array = $csv->fields; warn ($csv->error_input) if !$status; print "Did not get six entries in $string\n" if not @array == 6; print "one entry in $string is zero length\n" if any {!length $_} @array; print join ':', @array; print "\n\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.
