`[0] Perl> print $string;; 2648117951505438300028047571976236505346 @sets_of_six = ( $string =~ m{ (.{6}) }xmsg );; print for @sets_of_six;; 264811 795150 543830 002804 757197 623650` [download] Note the missing last four characters. Can be fixed (and the parens are extraneous): `@sets_of_six = $string =~ m{ (.{0,6}) }xmsg;; print for @sets_of_six;; 264811 795150 543830 002804 757197 623650 5346` [download] Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

According to Re^4: Breaking up a string?, "length is a multiple of 6". If it's not a multiple of six, the OP hasn't specified what the correct behavior is anyway (though maybe you could test against the algorithm described in Re^2: Breaking up a string?). Thanks for pointing out the extraneous parentheses.	[reply]
