Hi everybody
I have a problem with split function:
My input is:
1234 2321 0      45    1st 
2122 sdsa  0   0  34        
2313 dsad          43    2nd     
1232 ffff     0   0         1st 
3213 sadf        0  34        
2133 dada 0              2nd

My purpose is to split this data to columns, I wrote this script:

$in_file = "input.txt"; 
open (IN, "<$in_file") or die "Can't open $file: $!\n"; 
$out_file = "output.txt"; 
open (OUT, ">$out_file") or die "Can't open $file: $!\n"; 
 
while ( $line = <IN> ) { 
@fields = split(/\s+/,$line); 
print "$fields[2]\n"; 
} 
close IN; 
close OUT;

But; When we write 3rd column, I achieves this data:
0
0
43
0
0
0
But I want to see like this according to my input:
0
0

0

0

This spaces make me freak,somewhere in input txt, there is more than one space, and some columns also have space char, please help me!
