Split a string by anything other than spaces

Monday, May 19, 2014 perl 0 Comments

Have you ever tried this. Dont go on writing big perl code for this. Here's a simple solution for this.

my @arr=split /\S+/,$str;

where
$str is your string
\s obviously matches a white space character. But \S matches a non white space character.
So \S+ matches atleast one non white space character.
