Thanks for the tips guys. As I was looking at my code, I
realied that I had not actually tried the combination that I
posted. What i did try was:
@resarray= split /"\n"/, $resstring;
Which for some reason I can not discern, puts everything
(multiple lines) in the first element of the array. If some
one would care to educate me on why that is I relly would like
to know. I thought the " allowed interpolation of the special
backslashed chars.
Thanks for the references. This is my first attempt at using
modules and objects in perl. Looks like there is more in my
future.
