Hi everyone Can anyone please tell me why the code below is not splitting the 'two three'?
If I use '\s*' instead of 's{1,}' it works but I would have thought the code below would have been more precise. my $string = 'one two three four'; my @temp = split(/ \s{1,}/,$string); my $count_temp = scalar @temp; print "$count_temp\n"; foreach my $element (@temp) { print "$element\n"; } Thanks John -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
