How to specify multiple delim in a string

[Jeff98]

str="1,2|3 4"
I want to parse this tring into
1
2
3
4
I guess i can use split(str,delim)
but how to specify the delim?

Thanks
Jeff

The delimiter in a split is a regex. So you can specify

my @stuff = split(/[,| ]/, $string);

[PHV]

myStr="1,2|3 4"
myArr=Split(Replace(Replace(myStr,"|"," "),","," ")))

Hope This Helps, PH.

Arrgh. Clicked on the VBA forum instead of the perl one, then gave you a perl answer. What a plonker...

.. but wouldn't it be nice if Split did work that way

Enjoy,
