Re: split based upon string

Also read the documentation for the split function. You can pass a regex or a string as the delimiter.

my @parts = split 'DELIMITING_TEXT', $entire_string;

You can pass a regex or a string Just keep in mind that using single quotes around the pattern (instead of `/.../`) does not make it a plain string — it's still a regex. Although this is not relevant here, it might make a difference in other cases: `#!/usr/bin/perl -l my $s = 'xABCxACxABBCxABCx'; print join(' - ', split('ABC', $s)); # x - x - x - xAB*Cx` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
