No no I would like to get an array @data that would contain 21 items (as it is the count of C's in the template ) So that array would look like this: lets say that $buffer contains these data: f07601089978040001aaaaaa2017102195404724203718262a05051219540400 000199000001040678461666aaaaaaaaaaaaaa00023532200000011820050512 19540472403aaa (this is the hexdump of first 71 bytes read from that binary file) And I want these data to be split to the @data array according to the template I use ->> so I want @data to be like this: (f0, 76, 01, 08 AND SO ON ACCORDING TO THE TEMPLATE) - just unpack the particular data as unsigned chars.. But I probably get it wrong :) I'm thinking about that $buffer as a buffer in the C language :(

In reply to Re^2: why the unpack doesnt split the data to the array ? by gyre007
