I have a long string of characters (> 40,000 chars) that I need to break up into strings of 6 chars each. Is there a simple way to do this in Perl? unpack() doesn't seem to be the right solution; there are no terminations for the strings I'm after.
Maybe that works for you?
my $string = 'string_of_40k_chars';
my @strings = $string =~ /.{6,6}/g;
my $remainder = substr($string, -1, length($string)%6);
Have I actually found something that is easier in C than in Perl?
I couldn't tell.
