Re: Splitting a long string

For a modest size string like that:

for my $temp ($str =~ /.{1,1000}/g) {
    # do stuff with $temp
}

is probably sufficiently fast.

Update: s/1000/1,1000/ per almut's catch.

Minor nitpick: to get the last block of 400 chars as well, that regex should be `/.{1,1000}/g`, i.e. min 1, max 1000.	[reply] [d/l]
