I've got a problem I think there may be a straight-forward solution to that I just don't know. I have a program that reads a variable-length input file. And the field delimiter of that file is given as an argument. The problem is something like pipe "|" might show up as the delimiter. So is there a way to quote/protect that in the split() function without it being interpreted as a regex special character?
Something like: ./myprog.pl "|" myprog.pl: --------- my $delimiter = $ARGV[0]; my @fields = split(/$delimiter/, $line); This is a very simplified example. Hope that makes sense. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
