I'm trying to write a scheduler for classes that will take the class periods and print out a nice table. The input will take the form MW7, TF2, MTh1, etc. basically two day markers and then a number or one day marker and two numbers (for double periods). I have the code to take generate the table but I'm having trouble getting my code to accept the two letter thursday token.

right now I have written
@temp2 = (split /s*/, $data);
where data holds the input.
I've also tried

@temp2 = (split /([MmTtWwFf])/, $data);
    #gives me [ ,T ,t,H1] from input"TtH1"

      @temp2 = (split /([^MmTtWwFf])/, $data);
    #gives me [Tt,H, ,1] from input "TtH1"
[download]

my original code works for all cases except those involving the two day token for thursday.

I appreciate any help and all suggestions.

	-Etan
