What you aim for, is already the default behaviour of split. perldoc -f split "If PATTERN is also omitted, splits on whitespace (after skipping any leading whitespace). [...] As a special case, specifying a PATTERN of space (' ') will split on white space just as "split" with no arguments does." So change your split(/ /,$_) into split ' ' or even into just split -- Affijn, Ruud "Gewoon is een tijger." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
