I need to use the vertical line, | , ("pipe"?) as a field separator.
I am using a variable to store this separator; however, I'm having trouble
getting it to work consistently with "split" and "join" functions.
If I do:
$separator = '|';
join ($separator, @fields); # Works
split (/$separator/, $line); # Doesn't work (splits on null)
If I do:
$separator = '\|';
split (/$separator/, $line); # Works
join ($separator, @fields); # Doesn't work (of course)
Is there a way I can use the same $separator variable to work with both
"join" and "split"?
