split the color field ( $data[1]) into an array and the print the colors like so: #!/usr/bin/perl-Tw
use strict;
use Text::ParseWords;
open(DATA,"basicdez.dat") || die "Cannot open datfile: $!\n";
my @data;
my $i = 0;
while (<DATA>)
{
chomp;
last if /^"EOS"$/;
{
@data = "ewords('\s+', 0, $_);
}
# if all fields exist (gets rid of PER issue)
if (($data[0]) && ($data[1]) && ($data[2])) {
my @colors=split(/,/, $data[1]);
print "Name = $data[0]\n";
for (@colors){
# print each color
print "Color = $_\n";
}
print "Date = $data[2]\n";
}
}

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
