Re: Splitting a String into n-character parts, without using a regex

in reply to Splitting a String into n-character parts, without using a regex

You say without using a regex, but do you know that you can use //g in a list context to return all the matches at once? @row = 'aabbccddee' =~ /\w{2}/g; I use this approach a lot, because it's simple but powerful.

That approach works in this case; but for general strings, it would miss the last part of the string if it's too short (ie. less than 2 \w chars). `@row = 'aabbccddee' =~ /\w{1,2}/g;` [download] will capture the last section too	[reply] [d/l]
