Dear Irfan, i think for the code you can try the below, ($some_thing1,$some_thing2,$something_3....)=split($test,".")
You have the split arguments reversed :) Also, don't use double quotes when there is nothing to interpolate. And space them out so its easier to read :) And use my() so its strict safe: my @things = split '.', $test; or with variables and () with the split: my($thing_a, $thing_b) = split('.', $test); HTH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
