hello,

i am reading some parameters(from user input) from a .txt file and want to make sure that my script could read it even a space or tab is left before that particular parameter by user.

also if i want to add a comment for each parameter followed by # , after the parameter (e.g 7870 #this is default port number) to let the user know about the parameter

how can i achieve it in same file ?

here is wat i am using (/\|\s/)

code::

$data_file="config.txt"; open(RAK, $data_file)|| die("Could not open file!"); @raw_data=;

@Ftp_Server =split(/\|\s/,$raw_data[32]);

config.txt (user input file)

PING_TTL | 1 CLIENT_PORT | 7870 FTP_SERVER | 192.162.522.222

could any body suggest me a robust way to do it?
