I don't think split function is an issue. it's something related when I tried to read a file. it only read the line up to length = 51 and then it will continue to read on the nextline. I already checked the file, there is no newline in the file.	[reply]

I don't think split function is an issue. But you did, see split function. it only read the line up to length = 51 and then it will continue to read on the nextline. I already checked the file, there is no newline in the file. There is a saying about that #11943 Ah yes, and you are the first person to have noticed this bug since 1987. Sure. It is not impossible to discover bugs in perl, I've seen it many times, but each time, it was by someone who provided a Short, Self Contained, Correct (Compilable), Example We only have your word that there is no newline in your datafile, or that a problem exists at all. We need code that proves it :) see How do I post a question effectively?	[reply]

The datafile 1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10;11;12;13;14;15;16;17;18;19;20;21;22;23;24;25;26;27;28;29;30;31;32;33;34;35;36 1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10;11;12;13;14;15;16;17;18;19;20;21;22;23;24;25;26;27;28;29;30;31;32;33;34;35;36 1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10;11;12;13;14;15;16;17;18;19;20;21;22;23;24;25;26;27;28;29;30;31;32;33;34;35;36 1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10;11;12;13;14;15;16;17;18;19;20;21;22;23;24;25;26;27;28;29;30;31;32;33;34;35;36 `sub split_the_element{ my ($local_fh) = @_; while (<$local_fh>) { chomp; my $size = length $_; print "size $size\n"; foreach my $element (split ';', $_) { printf $fhout "%s,\n", $element; } }` [download] However, the line get chop after the lengh is >= 51. Is there any workaround which can read the full line? size 51 size 51 size 51 size 51 size 51 size 51 size 51 size 51 size 51 size 36	[reply] [d/l]

The data file is not in code tags The code doesn't do anything (it doesn't run)	[reply]

Your data file has some "hidden control characters" that mess up the line by line reading. The data lines that you present are not what the actual data is. Its just that simple. Create this data file yourself by manually typing it in with vi or notepad or whatever plain text editor that you normally use and you will see that the code works. Don't use copy-and-paste as that would copy these "invisible" wrong characters.	[reply]
