Another mind bogling example... :-) I thought I would do: my @value = ( split /,\s+/, $string ); print $value[6]; How could your example, have printed the last field using [ -1 ]? Can I also print say, the 3rd field using this trick? > print $value; > ' > lajdlf134><<_ lkadsf !234 > > > > > > John > -- Those people who think they know everything are a great > annoyance to those of us who do. -- Isaac Asimov > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org > For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org > http://learn.perl.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
