Re^2: How to count the number of columns in a line

Your code (that, what you wanted) should be as easy as:
my @match_A = split /\t/, $line; @list_of_headers= @match_A[4..$#match_A];
[download]
No need for a loop...

... provided @list_of_headers was empty beforehand! Otherwise use

push @list_of_headers, @match_A[4..$#match_A];
