Hello, This is a resend of my earlier email. Apologies to anyone that couldn't read my earlier email - I forgot to change the formatting to plain text. How outlook express can let you specify a format per user, but outlook 2000 can't I'll never know.
I have a program that deals with Email addresses. The addresses are in the form "Name" <emailaddress> which is a single string: ie. "My Name" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I need to seperate the comment part (ie. the users name) from the email address part. $full_address = '"My Name" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' # Read from a file ($user, $email) = split /</, $full_address; The problem is that I can't get the split to work on the '<' character. I've tried different permatations including \< and [<] etc., but it never seams to match on the triangular brackets. Does anyone know how this could be achieved.
