What's wrong with it? Was that just some Perl-like code that you typed at random, or was there some reason to think that it would do what you want? > The new_dir array is the string from the string array. > > Where did I go wrong? Do you want split? my @pieces = split / /, "a b c d"; I feel that I'm guessing (badly?) at what you want. Am I close? If you're not trying to break up a string on space, what are you trying to do?
