Re: split help

This is based on the Camel book's description of split. Its a good book maybe you should get yourself a copy.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
my $data='DATETIME 09:59:11';
 
my (@sout) = split /[\s,:]/, $data;
print $sout[1];

Plankton, great answer! Now you can use a array slice to throw away what you don't need: `#!/usr/local/bin/perl my $data='DATETIME 09:59:11'; my $sout = (split /[\s,:]/, $data)[1]; print $sout ."\n";` [download] Later	[reply] [d/l]
