Just don't come back whinging when you have data with embedded commas or newlines and the quick hack no longer works. You may get away with it this time, but n months down the road someone (possibly even yourself) will be swearing under their breath at you as they clean up the mess.	[reply]

sigh. Ok. `my @data = map { [split /,/] } <>;` [download] "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply] [d/l]

`my @data = map { [split /,/] } <>;` You might want a `chomp` in there to avoid leaving the line terminator in the last field. `my @data = map { chomp; [split /,/] } <>;` [download] I second your sigh by the way. Cheers, JohnGG	[reply] [d/l] [select]
