First and foremost, thank you guys for the unending information. Great stuff! I am working on a script that splits a line into an array delimited by tildes. I need to completely remove a couple of those resulting fields if there is a way to do that. This is rather than removing them based on the regular expressions identified. Below is the piece of code that does that:

my @field = split("~", $line);
if ($field[11] eq '000015') {
     $line =~ s/$field[12]/92/g;
     $line =~ s/~~~~~~~~~10~/~10~/g;
push(@newlines,$line);
}

I'd really appreciate your advice on this. Thanks in advance.
