not by using split function but by using simple Regex.

The first argument to split *is* a regex.

However, doing it without 'split' would go like this:

Match your string on the pattern

/(X)/g

(note the g-modifier!) in list context. X is a pattern describing the fields you want to keep together. For example,

Code

      'xxabayyyybcbbbzz' =~ /([abc]+)/g

evaluated in list context, yields the list ('aba','bcbb').

Code

$s1 ="hi"; 
 
$cnt = () = $str =~ /$s1/g; 
print $cnt;

Well, this is something different than you asked for in your initial posting (where you asked about spliting on a set of certain characters, including space). I think for a new subject, you should start a new thread.
