Do you mean something like?
foreach my $piece (split /\|/, $line) {
if ($piece eq '') {
print ERRORLOG "Empty value";
}
}
(Assumes split on '|' but doesn't have to)
Obviously this is not terribly useful as it doesn't tell you what was
empty, but there are lots of ways around that, obviously you will need
to know the column headings.
Does this help? If not you might provide more information specifically
about what you are up to.
