in reply to shift split grep question

It's certainly possible but your problems description is fuzzy.

Please clarify. :)

use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dump qw/pp dd/; my @lines =<DATA>; my @headings = grep /^\s*AUID/, @lines; @headings = split ' ', $headings[0]; shift @headings; pp @headings; __DATA__ AUID \cIRA \cIDec \cILabel \cIV \cIB-V \cIComments AUID \cIRA \cIDec \cILabel \cIV \cIB-V \cIComments AUID \cIRA \cIDec \cILabel \cIV \cIB-V \cIComments

( "\\cIRA", "\\cIDec", "\\cILabel", "\\cIV", "\\cIB-V", "\\cIComments", )

    "\cI" is "\t" (tab), that's my guess as to what's meant...
