Re: Extracting data from a string

Hi

Did you try with split option. Hope you did

$var='nc,71526435,0,"text text, text text,456 etc...",36.5,121.1,1.4,7
+.50, 8,"text2 text, text text,123 etc..."';

@array=split(",",$var);

while(<@array>) {
    print $_ ."\n";
    }
[download]

And also you may try with modules as suggested above.

Hi, Yes. It's a mess, because the text between quotes has also commas. Kind regards, Kepler	[reply]

~~So what was the point of your post?~~ [ ack! Thought the parent was from viveksnv ] Not to detract from split's uselessness here, note that most of the "badness" came from «`while (<@array>)`» when you meant to use «`for (@array)`». «`while (<@array>)`» is equivalent to «`while (defined($_ = glob(join($", @array))))`».
