Re^4: Split string variable of log input and output pieces in text file

Hi Marshall if I have a log now that I want the separators [] to be consumed, do I need to change the limiters? Or just modify the code like so:

split /[[]\s:()]+/,$line>

`split /[[]\s:()]+/,$line>` Have you tried to use the quoted code? What happens if you do? (I'm not sure what the `'>'` on the end of this code fragment is supposed to be.) I'm not familiar with your data, but I think I would try (untested) `split /[\[\]\s:()]+/, $line` instead. Be aware that this may generate an extraneous empty string at the beginning of the split output list, so your selection indices may need adjustment. Give a man a fish: `<%-{-{-{-<`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
