I'm taking a line from a file, and the information taken from the file is currently stored in an array. Just one line is an element.

Now, I would like to take a line, and separate two things with a comma from a file. One being one variable and the other, another variable. Kind of like so:

DomainName, IPAddress
DomainName2, IPAddress2

If I'm storing this information in a file that is being read, what is the best way to separate them so I may match IPs I capture in my program to the IPAddresses in my file and then print the DomainName (from my file) that goes with said IP?

I've been told split is a great way to do this but I'm not sure how and just looking at the generic way to use it from Google results isn't going so well for me. Thank you for reading in advance!
