Re^2: Seeking help with split!

Thanks AnomalousMonk.

I have another doubt now. How can we split the below with the delimiter "','" with same 4 times?

my $data = 'A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H','I','J','K','L','M','N','O','P','Q','R','S','T','U','V','W','X','Y','Z';

So that output will be like,

'A','B','C','D','E' 'F','G','H','I','J' 'K','L','M','N','O' 'P','Q','R','S','T' 'U','V','W','X','Y' 'Z'

I tried your code, but not working with "','"

nah, it is your code that's not working. You assign a list to a scalar (not meant to store a list, see perlintro) and perl, trying what's possible, takes the first scalar value off that list and stores it in `$data`. Check that variable: `my $data = 'A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H','I','J','K','L','M','N','O','P','Q','R','S','T','U','V','W','X','Y','Z'` `print $data; A` [download] See? So what was your intention? Use an array? Put quotation marks into a string? I cannot tell from your question. Cheers, Sören (hooked on the Perl Programming language)	[reply] [d/l]
