Hi all,
Can someone explain to me how I can fix this up to achieve my desired
results?
my $time = (split (/:/, (grep (/^info/, @contents))))[0];
A sample snip of data:
this382:3828
info447:4729
that274:9294
...and I just want the $time to become info447.
The way I think it works is:
- grep out the single entry from the @contents array
- split that entry on the : delimiter
- insert into $time the first element of the split
I can do it with more than one line, but I've become accustomed to using
split in array fashion, however, never with grep before.
Thank you for any insight.
Steve
