in reply to Re^4: Seperating individual lines of a file
in thread Seperating individual lines of a file

ok, on the split function, can i split $line into two sections, one being the first 16 characters, then name the file via this string of characters?
Yes, you can, but then chances are that substr or unpack are better suited for the tast. Split works best for splitting on a pattern. Well, more precisely it is exactly for splitting on a pattern!
