The value of $string could include dashes or not. If it is, I'd like the value of $foo to be set to the portion of the string to the left of the first dash. If not, I'd like the value of $foo to be null.
I'm doing the following, but $foo is equal to "1" if there are no dashes in the string: $foo = (split('-',$string)),[0]; Can anyone tell me why this is happening? - Grant -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
