> as long as there are no periods, /\.*/ does split up individual characters just like //. No, it doesn't.

@c = split /\.+/, "abcdefg";
@d = split /\.+/, "ab.c.....defg";

results in @c having one element, "abcdefg", and @d having 3 elemnts, "ab", "c", and "defg".

Well, you're using `/\.+/`, not `/\./` :) `my $s = "abcdefg"; my @c = split /\./, $s; print '/\./: ', join("-", @c), "\n"; my @d = split //, $s; print '//: ', join("-", @d), "\n"; __END__ /\./: a-b-c-d-e-f-g //: a-b-c-d-e-f-g` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
