Assuming that each "line" of your variable is separated by a \n, you can use the split() function.
my @array = split /\n/,$variable; -----Original Message----- From: Faymon, Kurt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2002 5:51 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Reading lines in variable Simple for some (most), perplexing me: have a variable, say $Record which contains many lines (actually codes), like: <p> <h> <link> <ref> So on.... How can I roll through the value of the variable, capturing each line and pushing it onto an array? Kind like reading entries in a cfg file (one on each line) and putting them in array? thanks kf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
