Re: How to split a string

Yes, but a better approach might be to use an array:

my @array = split //, $s;

If you really must use separate variables, you could use the string form of eval, but this is generally considered bad style:

no strict 'vars';
for (split //, $s) { eval "\$f$i = $_"; ++$i }

Both approaches are quite brittle and rely on your string only having one digit per target variable.

You don't need to pull out the tactical nuke for this. `my $i = 0; for( split //, $s ) { no strict 'refs'; ${ 'f' . $i++ } = $_ }` [download] Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply] [d/l]
