Subject: Problem with split
I have a string that is delimited by the '|' character. I pass this string
to a sub, and within the sub
Because the | is part of the regex which allows for (a|b|c| which
says if a or b or c. So what you have is basically I believe null or null
which comes down to split(,$_[1]). What you want would be to escape the |
like \|, so you would have split(/\|/, $_[1]);
Wags ;) ps My terminology
