Using a module as GrandFather suggests is probably the safest option. However, just to show another way with this particular data, you could use the third argument to split in order to work in from either end.

knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ perl -E ' > $_fileline = q{1945,"4,399.00",938,1/10/2012}; > ( $_fileparts[ 0 ], $remainder ) = split m{,}, $_fileline, 2; > push @_fileparts, > reverse > map scalar reverse, > split m{,}, reverse( $remainder ), 3; > say for @_fileparts;' 1945 "4,399.00" 938 1/10/2012 knoppix@Microknoppix:~$

I hope this is of interest.

Update: Assigning to an array slice avoids the final reverse.

knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ perl -E ' > $_fileline = q{1945,"4,399.00",938,1/10/2012}; > ( $_fileparts[ 0 ], $remainder ) = split m{,}, $_fileline, 2; > @_fileparts[ 3, 2, 1 ] = > map scalar reverse, > split m{,}, reverse( $remainder ), 3; > say for @_fileparts;' 1945 "4,399.00" 938 1/10/2012 knoppix@Microknoppix:~$

Cheers,

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
