hi james28909, if split operator can take a regex, why not just: `use strict; use warnings; print split /,.+/, <DATA>; __DATA__ 123,456 234,567 345,456` [download] Just a flash of thought! :) If you tell me, I'll forget. If you show me, I'll remember. if you involve me, I'll understand. --- Author unknown to me	[reply] [d/l]
