Hi, I need help with figuring out how to search through a comma delimited text file and yank out the right field THEN export that information to a new file. In the data example below, I would like to extract the domain names specifically. I've just cracked the perl book and I keep hitting my head on it so if you could give me a good example to run with I'd appreciate it. I figured that this sort of request would be pretty basic to start with? Any help is greatly appreciated!


Thanks,
Simone :)
