Re^2: Count Using Split

No, because if one occurence of the search string is found, the string is split into two. So your code would print 2 when it should print 1. Since I don't like the $# syntax either, I would use print @t-1;

No, because if one occurence of the search string is found, the string is split into two. Then `my @t=split(/mapping id="/,$_);` should be `my @t = /mapping id="/g;` instead. :-)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Having an array of identical elements is rather useless. The only thing you can do is count them. Why not get the count from the start. `my $t = () = /mapping id="/g;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
