I'm working on this myself and am wondering if -- er, what the better way is
to split the header line into 3 pieces.
# get header
if (/^[^|]/ and [EMAIL PROTECTED]) {
@header = split(/"?[|"]+"?/, $_, 5);
pop @header; shift @header;
}
Data (see below) looks something like:
"Piece One"||||||"Piece Two"||||||"Piece Three"|||
I'm splitting as you see, but into 5 pieces in order to get rid of quote marks
and all pipes; then I have to throw out the first and last item.
