Ur data:
aragonm 172.24.142.136 aupoza528 (v1.1), start Thu 23/5 13:54
salibaj 172.24.142.136 aupoza528 (v1.1), start Thu 23/5 13:54
seniorb 172.24.142.136 aupoza528 (v1.1), start Thu 23/5 13:54
If $str_line contains one line at a time
e.g, $str_line = "aragonm 172.24.142.136 aupoza528 (v1.1), start Thu
23/5 13:54";
U can use:
my ($user) = split (/\s+/, $str_line, 2);
Note: ($user) => context is array and not scalar
If $str_line contains the whole data
i.e.,
$str_line = "aragonm 172.24.142.136 aupoza528 (v1.1), start Thu 23/5
13:54\nsalibaj 172.24.142.136 aupoza528 (v1.1), start Thu 23/5
13:54\nseniorb 172.24.142.136 aupoza528 (v1.1), start Thu 23/5 13:54
";
U can use:
my @lines = split (/\n/, $str_line);
foreach $var (@lines)
{
my ($user) = split (/\s+/,$var);
print "User is :$user\n";
}
