correct me if I'm wrong, in order to use the split function, I need
to use the regex in order to find where it is in the file, then place
it into a variable, then split it? Even still, I think that is something
I will use for formating purposes. I was able to get it working finally, I
found I was making a newbie mistake, I was testing for the match, but I wasn't
assigning it into a variable. My question now is on how I assigned it to a variable.
how does this differ from using
If I am running through a long file, and $foo is changeing frequently, will one work better then the other? By the way, I like the last solution you used. The date will always be in the same format, and I am pretty sure that there will never be anything else with the same pattern, but then again never say never. thanks for all the help...I'm currently struggling through other regex problems But so far I have worked most of them out on my own which I prefer to do before asking the monks.
