Re^2: how to split a string and take certain position?

There's a general rule: If it looks like a sub-call, it's a sub-call. :-)

print (@somelist)[1]

is treated as

print(@somelist) [1]

which is also a syntax error.

Two common solutions is two put parens around the function's arguments `print( (@somelist)[1] );` [download] Or put something between the function name and the opening parens, such as the no-op operator `print +(@somelist)[1];` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
