G'day kanikas16,

Welcome to the Monastery.

I expect you just need split and splice:

#!/usr/bin/env perl -l use strict; use warnings; my $data = '1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 +0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 + 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 5 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 6 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 +1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 7 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8 1 1 0 0 0 0 + 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 9 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10 1 1 0 0 + 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 11 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 12 1 +1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 13 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0' +; my $sep = 'x' x 35; my @bits = split / /, $data; print "@{[ splice @bits, 0, 18 ]}\n$sep" while @bits;

Output:

1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 3 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 4 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 5 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 6 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 7 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 8 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 9 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 10 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 11 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 12 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 13 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Note: I saw your original post but ignored it because the data formats couldn't be accurately discerned (no <code>...</code> tags). I've now replied, days later, as the formatting has been fixed. Follow the guidelines in "How do I post a question effectively?" to get faster and better responses.]
