Greetings all, Given this code:
my $TOKEN_DELIMS = qr/[^\w\-'\$]/; my $text = # string containing the contents of an mbox file my @tokens = split /$TOKEN_DELIMS/o, $text; I end up with a large number of null strings ('') in @tokens. After RTFMing on split, I assume this is because I am matching at the beginning/end of the string. I can't quite grok how to eliminate these, however. I can easily grep them out, but this is a time-sensitive routine, and I'd rather just not generate them. How can I modify my pattern (or my string, without losing real data), so that I don't get these spurious matches?
