Split function not working.....

Jay
So I'm writting this software that talks to an IRC server; and occasionaly
IRC servers send back data two lines at a time with lines breaks inside.
For my own sanity I had been using the split funciton to break these lines
down to seperate ones and then process the server commands etc. However
lately the split funciton seems incapable of finding chr(10)+chr(13) and
wont split the lines. When I dump the data to a text file however and open
it in notepad, notepad recognizes the lines and seperates them.

What is going on and how can I fix it?

A newline in Windows is chr(13) & chr(10) not the other way around.

Use the ControlChars.Cr Lf or ControlChars.Ne wLine constants.

Hi All, What I want to is using a string as PATTERN in a split function. This makes it possible for me to change the PATTERN on one place in my script... For example: $separator = ";"; $line = "field1;value1"; local($field, $value) = split(/$separator/, $line);

Hi All; I am fairly new to Perl. I have a file with close to 3000 lines that I would like to split out in a certain way.

I am trying to use the split function to bread up lines in a file I am reading from. Some lines are working just fine, but a couple of the lines don't split up the way I would have thought.

My goal is to accept input from the user into a text box and then parse the data using split(). The first step is this tiny program to test the split() function. It runs in IE, but in Mozilla it just hangs and keeps loading forever. I checked around on the web and in USENET, but I haven't seen any mention of split() not working in Mozilla. Thoughts? Thanks in advance. <HTML> <HEAD> </HEAD>

I am working in C# ASP.NET framework 1.1 and for some reason Regex.Split isn't working as expected. When trying to split a string, Split is returning an array with the entire string in element and an empty string in element . I am trying two different ways (an ArrayList and a string array) and both are doing that. Also, IndexOf is not working, but StartsWith does. The code:

If you split a string into an array using the split method, it's not working the way I'd expect it to. That doesn't mean it's wrong of course, but would anyone else agree it's working somewhat illogically? Here's a test I just put together that splits on "&". The test strings are: "a&b" = (Correct!) I expect array length 2 and I get 2 "a&" = (Incorrect!) I expect array length 1 but I get 2 "a" = (Correct!) I expect array length 1 and...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
