splitting Can't Post
i have an entry in an array that i would like to split.
{the entry is 1.42 }
i would like to be able to isolate the 1 and the 42 into 2 fields.
why doesn't this work?:
@fields = split(/./, $numbers[1]);

Because . is a special regex character. You'll need to backslash it to make it match a literal period.

Code
($dec, $frac) = split /\./, $number;
