Always use "use strict; use warnings" in your code - it gives you very good hints: use strict; use warnings; my $datetime="DD/MM/YYYY:HH:MM:SS"; @fields=split(/[/:]/, $datetime); # This prints out: Global symbol "@fields" requires explicit package name at - line 3. Unmatched [ in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/[ <-- HERE / at - line 3. Here is the modified code: use strict; use warnings; my $datetime="DD/MM/YYYY:HH:MM:SS"; my @fields1=split(/[\/:]/, $datetime); # [1] my @fields2=split(m,[/:],, $datetime); # [2] print join ", ", @fields1; print "\n"; print join ", ", @fields2; # This prints out: DD, MM, YYYY, HH, MM, SS DD, MM, YYYY, HH, MM, SS To avoid perl interpreting a "/" searched for with the end of the regex, you either have to [1] escape "/" with " \" or [2] use another "delimiter" (don't know the english term at the moment) for the match regex - in this case, "m,," instead of "//", explicitly indicating the match with an "m". see perldoc perlre joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
