Split Function 1

[pcredskin7]

I am having trouble splitting a string that is delimited by the '^' character. Could somebody please point me in the right direction?

Below is one of the many methods I have tried thus far:

my $temp = "mary^had^a^little^lamb.";
my @vals = split('^', $temp);


Thanks.

 

[max1x]

my @vals = split ('\^',$temp);

The first argument to split() is a regexp, not a string. Even using single-quotes does not make it a string, so you have to escape special characters like ^.
