Re: -F and trailing empty fields

I would suggest that you discard the -F option (because it doesn't do what you want) and instead add "@F=split /,/, $_, -1;" to the beginning of the one-liner (because it does what you want).

Well, I can always do that, as I did reference the post about split options and preserving empty trailing fields, but my question was specifically geared toward "is there a way to do that same thing with the -F option on the command line." Otherwise, yes, I can just break all this out and write a number of perl scripts using split directly. Just trying to keep this short and on a single line (as I'm doing other stuff I don't show in the example in the original post). --- s;;:<).>\|\;\;_>?\\^0<\|=!]=,\|{\$/.'>\|<?.\|/"&?=#!>%\$\|#/\$%{};;y;,'} -/:-@[-`{-};,'}`-{/" -;;s;;$_;see; Warning: Any code posted by tuxz0r is untested, unless otherwise stated, and is used at your own risk.
