One method is using undef For example if you we're only interested in fields 1,3, and 5 you could do something like ($field1,undef,$field3,undef,$field5) = split/.../; Or you can do something like (split//...)[3] #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use warnings; my $s = "This,is,a,test"; my ($capture) = (split/,/,$s)[3]; print $capture,"\n"; -- Rodrick R.
