This second array can then be written out to disc; if you want you could even read & write within the same loop.
But the key point is that split is often the easiest way to break apart the fields in a file that is, for example, CSV formatted. Give that a try, write some code to attempt it, and let the list know if you have any problems in getting it to work. -- Chris Devers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
