Hi there
I want to extract some word after space from some string. Somebody from the mailing list had given me above command. suppose I wanto extract 8th word... #suppose $abc has the string; $abc=split[/\s+/]->[8]; #somebody told me like this. but it doesnt work. if i use some array in the split function like:- @array=split(/\s+/,$abc); print $array[8]; this way it works. But I dont want to use array. Its newbie question actually. pls help. Thanks -Dhiraj -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
