Problem

Converting a string into an array

Solution

To convert a string to an array, use split.

Example

Here we have a string, comprising of fields separated by commas.

So we just split on the comma, but this could also be spaces, etc.


$str="one,two,three";
@rr=split ',', $str;
print $#rr."n"; # outputs 2
