I've got a problem I think there may be a straight-forward solution to
that I just don't know. I have a program that reads a variable-length
input file. And the field delimiter of that file is given as an
argument. The problem is something like pipe "|" might show up as the
delimiter. So is there a way to quote/protect that in the split()
function without it being interpreted as a regex special character?
Something like:
../myprog.pl "|"
myprog.pl:
---------
my $delimiter = $ARGV[0];
my @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
= split(/$delimiter/, $line);
This is a very simplified example. Hope that makes sense.
