Hi PerlMonkeys!

I'd made a simple script trying to get the final part from a line from the 4th space occurrence.

The Output should be like this:

"GetCertificate](3) Returning context. ID=PTWEBSERVER, Lang=ENG"

Instead of that I'm getting this:

"(6) 01/02/19 06:30:30 GetCertificate(3) Returning context. ID=PTWEBSERVER, Lang=ENG"

Can I ask for help to any expert?

Here is the code:

use strict;
use warnings;

my $line='PSAPPSRV.26476584 (6) 01/02/19 06:30:30 GetCertificate(3) Re
+turning context. ID=PTWEBSERVER, Lang=ENG';
my $SpaceChar = ' ';
my $offset = 0;
my $result = substr $line,index($line, $SpaceChar, $offset);

while ($offset < 4)
  { 
 $result = substr $line,index($line, $SpaceChar, $offset);

 print "$result \n"; 

 $offset++; 

 print "offset: $offset \n";
 }

Thanks for your help!!
