in reply to Parse file, split

add a field limit, see split

DB<108> $line='2011 Dodge Ram Crew Cab Short Bed' => "2011 Dodge Ram Crew Cab Short Bed" DB<109> split ' ',$line,3 => (2011, "Dodge", "Ram Crew Cab Short Bed")

If this is not what you want ¹ please provide us with better data enclosed in code-tags.

You certainly have a bad delimiter character! =)

¹) I ignore American car manufacturers and models and for me "Ram Crew Cab Short Bed" rather sound like IMDB keywords for a porn movie...

... btw: what does Cab mean? ;-)

    ... what does Cab mean?

    At least in North America, the 'cab' of a Pickup truck is the driver/passenger compartment, usually enclosed. Similar to the cab of a locomotive: the operator's compartment. And yes, now you mention it, that description does sound kinda porny...
