Need Help??

another way is filling in undef for the ignored fields

my ($first,$second,undef,$third,undef,$fourth,undef,$fifth,undef,$sixth) = split / /, $line;

please also note that split operates on regexes, so /\s+/ might be what is really wanted.

A single space character (' ') is a special case. I admit that it is a bit buried in the split documentation. Of course, ~~only~~ at most OP knows whether leading whitespace should be kept…	[reply]

you are right and it will also handle leading whitespace! :) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]
