Hi all,

I'm trying to get this string (example):

$all_codes = '4c1 4- 4c2 4-    8b1 8g1';

in to an array (@codes), using it's whitespace as the delimiter.

ie. @codes = split(/ /,$all_codes);

but I keep getting extra whitespace elements picked up into the array...:

'4c1,4-,4c2,4-,  ,8b1,8g1'

which is not good for the rest of the program.  I can't seem to get tr/// or
s/// to work on it (the way I'm trying to use them).

$all_codes =~ tr/' +'/ /;

doesn't affect the string at all.

Any ideas?

cheers,
-Shannon
