Re: Import comma delimited file into an array

If you aren't concerned with safety -- then just use split on a single comma -- you can even ignore whitespace:

my @line = split( '\s*,\s*', $line );

You'll end up with a new line in the last element of your array, but that can be chomped off.

However, i strongly recommend using Text::CSV for this task (or Text::CSV_XS).

L-LL-L--L-LL-L--L-LL-L--
-R--R-RR-R--R-RR-R--R-RR
B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B--
H---H---H---H---H---H---

Now, if I import more than one row, don't I need to bind it?	[reply]
