Re: Reaplcing double spaces

Here's my favorite way of doing that. The line is assumed in $_:

join '|', split " ", $_;

Double-quoted space is magical in split. It eats all whitespace.

Update: Bah:<code> join '|', split /\s\s/, $_; <code>

I did not fully comprehend what was happening when using " " or ' ' with split. It does indeed use any whitespace ( , \n, \t, \r ) as delimiters. Which made me wonder how you get it for just a single space. Most of you probably know this, but in case someone else was wondering too: `split / /, $_;`	[reply] [d/l]
