Re: split and assign

What about if I need 3 of the elements, not just one? Right now I'm using:

$line = "aa;bb;cc;dd;ee";
my @stuff = split(/;/, $line);
my $a = $stuff[0];
my $b = $stuff[1];
my $d = $stuff[3];

Is there a shortcut to this?
I'm actually parsing a csv and only need columns 1, 2 and 8... Thanks!

Thanks! My brain is fried, I kept trying multiple [] like `[0][1][7] and [0],[1],[7]...`	[reply] [d/l]
