Re: [MacPerl] parsing text from a file

[Carl Johan Berglund <carl.johan.berglund@adverb.se>]

What you generally do to separate content from delimiters is split:

my $line = "Blah Blah;230;Hello;-1\n";
my @data = split(/;/, $line);

Now @data will be an array of four elements, "Blah Blah", "230", "Hello"
and "-1\n".

In the case of retrieving data from HTML forms, the CGI.pm module usually
comes in handy. You can find it at:
