Actually I would always recommend to use a CSV parser like Text::CSV - there are many ways in which CSV files can be tricky (line feeds in fields, quotes around text containing semicolons or commas, etc). Text::CSV takes care of all this nastiness for you and you can leverage it's clean interface and only have to worry about your own code. -- Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
