RE: "Use of uninitialized value in string eq at..." >From the perldiag manpage:
Use of uninitialized value%s (W uninitialized) An undefined value was used as if it were already defined. It was interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake. To suppress this warning assign a defined value to your variables. To help you figure out what was undefined, perl tells you what operation you used the undefined value in. Note, however, that perl optimizes your program and the operation displayed in the warning may not necessarily appear literally in your program. For example, ""that $foo"" is usually optimized into ""that " . $foo", and the warning will refer to the "concatenation (.)" operator, even though there is no "." in your program. In other words, you tried to read a value from a variable, and you never put anything in that variable to begin with. To fix it always initialize variables like this: my $scalar = ''; # or 0 my @array = (); my %hash = (); Rob -----Original Message----- From: Steve Few [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 21, 2001 10:52 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: split I use: Windows NT(TM) (C) Copyright 1985-1996 Microsoft Corp.

I get these errors or warnings from my KOMODO output. Are the quotes and '*' causing me problems? I don't know what the message below is warning me of. Any insight or help on processing $line above is welcome. I do have many, and processing time is not an issue. The files are small.
