Re: Curios use of regular expressions in split

I don't know if anybody has a better solution, but you could just take two steps to both capture what you want to capture and split the string:

my $string = "uno abc dos";
my @a = split /abc/, $string;
$string =~ /(abc)/;
...some use of $1...

If your pattern is just something as trivial as abc, you could just assume $1 = 'abc'...but I'm assuming it's not.

Up to now, I think yours is the best solution, though, I was trying to do it in a single step.. Thanks!, -Sergio	[reply]
