Stephane, Try this:
my $string="sample1:sample2:sample3:sample4:sample5"; my($variable,@list)=split(/:/, $string); print "Variable: $variable\n"; print "List: $list[0]"; $variable will contain your sample1 value, while @list will contain the rest of the values.

Here is the list [sample1:sample2:sample3:sample4:sample5] I would like a $variable containing sample1 and another one containing the rest. I search a lot on Internet and find how to split this in many variable ($x,$y)=split(/:/) but this is not useful for me. Does anyone can help? Le tout nouveau Yahoo! Courriel.
