Hi, I'm a very newbie with perl. I have a text file and want to read it line by line and split it into words: my @fields = split / /, $_; - so far no problem. Now I have to count the words in the line. This I could not achieve. I#m sure it is very simple - but I did not find the suitable command -- Richard Müller - Am Spring 9 - D-58802 Balve [EMAIL PROTECTED] - www.oeko-sorpe.de Hi - The count of elements in an array is returned when you access that array in 'scalar' cintext; there are many ways to do this: my $count = @fields; print "number of fields = $count\n"; printf "number of fields = %d\n", scalar @fields; etc, etc. Aloha => Beau; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
