Re: One Dimensional Array into Two

A "two dimensional array" is really a one dimensional array whose entries are ref:ARRAY, that is references to arrays.

So you want something along the lines of:

  push @sheets, [split /\s+/, $line] ;
[download]

which is using the anonymous array composer to generate each entry for the "two dimensional array".

BTW, I wasn't sure whether you meant split /(\s)+/, which I believe will capture the whitespace separators as items in the resulting list ?

... and if `/(\s)+/` is really meant, it is cleaner written as `/\s*(\s)/`, in which case it's obvious that only the last matched whitespace will actually be in `$1`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I as having a seperate issue with the whitespace. Your suggestion to remove the parens solved in perfectly. Also, the syntax for the push is very concise. Thank you for your help. Joe	[reply]
