I have a need to convert this string into a two dimensional array.

For instance, I need to convert this:

0 X X X X X X X X 1 X X X X X X X X 2 X X X X X X X X 3 X X X X X X X X 4 X X X X X X X X 5 X X X X X X X X 6 X X X X X X X X 7

Into this:

0 X X X X X X X
X 1 X X X X X X
X X 2 X X X X X
X X X 3 X X X X
X X X X 4 X X X
X X X X X 5 X X
X X X X X X 6 X
X X X X X X X 7

In the above instance this happens to be @array 8 x 8 in size, but sometimes it can be more or less. I will be feeding x values (columns) into one for split points and y values into how many rows the array has.

Regards, Tom

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
