as your only splitting on 1 space where 2 are present in your string. -----Original Message----- From: Sayed, Irfan (Irfan) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 30 October 2007 09:38 To: beginners @ perl. org Subject: Split function Hi All, I have one variable which stores the value as follows. "2007-09-07T12:50:26+05:30 aic_8.0_Integration ccvob01" Now my requirement is that I want to store aic_8.0_Integration part of the string in different variable. so what I did was I ran following code. chomp(my @strm = split(/ /, $IntegrationStream)); where $IntegrationStream stores the above string. But the issue is that when I try to access $strm[1] , I am not getting expected result. i.e. aic_8.0_Integration Can you please guide me how should I achieve this. Regards Irfan.
