Re: Split with backslashes?

Quoting Jeff 'japhy' Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 O
my @dirs = split /\//, $cd;  # splitting on forward slashes
my @dirs = split '/', $cd;   # same thing, less ugly
 
 

Nice tip Jeff, thanks! :)

 Hi there!

 I would like to split up a string like this

 my $cd = $arguments;
 @dirs = split(///,$cd); #Split $cd when there occurs a backslash

 but it doesn't seem to work. I guess /// must be rewritten in some way,
 but how?

'/' is a FORWARD slash.  '\' is a BACK slash.  Here are two solutions to 
your problem:


  my @dirs = split /\//, $cd;  # splitting on forward slashes
  my @dirs = split '/', $cd;   # same thing, less ugly
