searching in array

hotshot has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have an array of names, some of the names begin with '@', for example:

 
@arr = (test1, @test2, @test3, test4, test5)
[download]

does anyone have a short way to return from this array two strings?: one is the names without the '@' (separated by commas), and the second is the names with the '@', but after we cut the '@' from them.
for the above example I would expect:

$str1 = 'test1,test4,test5';
$str2 = 'test2,test3';
[download]

Thanks

Hotshot

I assume you meant `@arr = qw(test1 @test2 @test3 test4 test5);` [download] In that case, you can use grep `$str1 = join(',', grep {/^@/} @arr); $str2 = join(',', grep {/^[^@]/} @arr);` [download] Or you could use a foreach loop, push onto either of two arrays depending on the match, then join afterward.

See grep. `-- perl -p -e "s/(?:\w);([st])/'\$1/mg"`	[reply]

`@parts = map { tr/@//d; $_ } split /,?@/,join(",", reverse sort @arr), +2;` [download] Well you didn't ask for readable :)	[reply] [d/l]

untested code: `my @with; my @without; foreach (@arr) { if (/^\@(.)/) { push(@with,$1); } else { push(@without,$_); } } my $str1 = join(",",@without); my $str2 = join(",",@with);` [download] straight forward and brute force...too early for me to think up a slick way to do it. ;) HTH /\/\averick perl -l -e "eval pack('h','072796e6470272f2c5f2c5166756279636b672');"	[reply] [d/l]
