how do you split on a / ?

[networkwoes]

I need to split a date into three parts... month day year. The date currently is in this format 10/12/01 and I am trying to use the slpit command, but do not know what the correct syntax is to tell it split on the /.


$PsaDate = split( /(/)/, $Temp[1] );


I know this is an easy one, but I simply cant find it in any documentaion for some reason.


Thanks for your help in advance!

($month, $day, $year) = split( /\//, $Temp[1] );

The split function accepts a regular expression as the first argument, so you have to escape (put a backslash in front of) special characters like the forward slash in order for them to be interpreted correctly.

Hope this helps.

FYI split also can use quotes for a delimiter like:
($month, $day, $year) = split( "/", $Temp[1] );
