Hi All,
I have nothing to gain by not showing you all my code, I have included all
suggested changes and even am writing to the select list the number of
elements. note the second item.
here is my code again with the changes and the output below, note the
items in the list this time are different from the first I think Tim may
be onto something but can't see where.
Cheers
Colin
#!c:/iw-home/iw-perl/bin/iwperl
my $fileToOpen = shift;
# $string = qq[<option value="$fileToOpen" label="$fileToOpen"/>];
open( FILEHANDLE, $fileToOpen ) or die ("Could not open file
$fileToOpen");
undef $/; # enter slurp mode
my $inFile = <FILEHANDLE>;
close( FILEHANDLE );
my @splitData = split( /\,/, $inFile );
$numElements = scalar(@splitData);
$optionHTML = qq[<option label="$numElements" />];
foreach $subject ( @splitData ) {
$subject = xc($subject);
$optionHTML .= qq[<option label="$subject" />];
}

print <<EOF;

my $data = $_[0];
$data =~ s/&/&/g;
$data =~ s/</</g;
$data =~ s/>/>/g;
$data =~ s/'/'/g;
$data =~ s/"/"/g;
return $data;
}
and the output:

Subject: RE: Splitting Comma delimited list
It looks like you are skipping exactly every other element. This is
most likely a coding error in an area of the code you're not showing us
or inadvertently fixed when you copied it to the email. I would check
for a place where you might be shift()ing or otherwise pulling an
element out and assigning it to a variable twice by accident so that one
result gets thrown away, or something along those lines.
