Here's a complete program. Basically the same as
bbfu with a couple of enhancements. Adding a
-1 to the split allows for null values to still
be added, such as:
foo|bar||||shazam
and chomping the line removes the newline, otherwise
it will end up in the last element of each array.
my $myfile = "BigOldFile.psv"; ## pipe-separated values :)
open(MYFILE, $myfile) or die "Could not open $myfile: $!\n";
my @lines = [];
while(<MYFILE>) {
chomp;
push @lines, [split(/\|/, $_, -1)];
}
## This will show you the format:
my $line=1;
for (@lines) {
print "Line $line: $_\n";
for (@$_) {
print "*$_*\n"; ## Stars are to demonstrate null values
}
$line++;
}

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).
