Dear Monks,

I need to split a $string into $subString's of characters wight different length. The name of the substring ($var) and it's length ($noChar) is given in a @list.

Here is an example @list:
$var $noChar
1: date 6
2: time 4
3: duration 4
4: calling-num 15
5: dialed-num 18
6: code-used 4
7: cond-code 1
8: ppm 5
9: auth-code 13

And an example $string:
21090412500011            209         070279501 9047    0         1111


Now here is the tricky part. The @list changes (so does the $string) from time to time (I can get the list in @ or %), so I have to the split the $string in $subString's depending on the content of the @list at the moment. In the end I have to end up with a @anotherList of $var, $subString.

What is the best way to go about this?


10x ahead...
