Re: array with s///g command

Without the .= statement, that should do the trick, assuming your

@array1
abc abc abc abc abc
abc abc abc2 abc3 abc4 abc5
abc abc abc1 abc2
[download]

means

@array1 = (
  'abc abc abc abc abc',
  'abc abc abc2 abc3 abc4 abc5',
  'abc abc abc1 abc2'
);
[download]

If it's not working, you need to be more explicit with us (and yourself?) about what's in your array, for instance, by showing the output of

use Data::Dumper;
$Data::Dumper::Useqq=1;
print Dumper \@array;

That will update @array1. OP implied that @array2 should have the updated strings. Of course it may be that OP intended the two arrays to actually represent the contents of an unspecified array at two different time, in which case: `s/\s+//g for @fields;` [download] may be what OP is looking for. I find it a little tricky to read some OP's minds at times. ;) DWIM is Perl's answer to Gödel	[reply] [d/l]
