I am trying to split a very long fixed lenght record into its constituents, and then load them into an array. I have patterns like '^ (.{3})(.{24})(.{6})...' which gets teh fields into $1, $2, $3 etc. I am stumped however as to how to get them into an array in a general way. With 'use strict' turned off I can force it with the ugly ${$i} construct in a loop, but I would prefer something that was 'strict' compatible. I havebasic. read the perodlc on @-, %-, %+, and none seem to do what I want - but that probably because I am missing something
