I need to extract 2 arrays from a string. The input string is: A: Gold, Black, Purple, Blue, Red B: Black, Neon Pink, Neon Yellow, Neon Green, Neon Purple, Red, White, Neon Orange, Navy The output which i should get is: Array A: Gold, Black, Purple, Blue, Red Array B; Black, Neon Pink, Neon Yellow, Neon Green, Purple, Red, White, Neon Orange, Navy The code which i tried is this:

use strict;
use warnings;

$| = 0;

my $str="A: Gold, Black, Purple, Blue, Red     B: Black, Neon Pink, Ne
+on Yellow, Neon Green, Neon Purple, Red, White, Neon Orange, Navy";

my @arrayA;
my @arrayB;

map {push @{(\@arrayA, \@arrayB)[--$|]}, split /,/} split /\s+/, $str;

print "Array A:@arrayA\n";
print "Array B: @arrayB";

I am getting the result like this:

Array A:Gold Purple Red Black Pink Yellow Green Purple White Orange

Array B: A: Black Blue B: Neon Neon Neon Neon Red Neon Navy

Which is not correct. Thanks monks for all your suggestions and help.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
