Question

This is my source array:

my @raw_stack = (
    'a1~a2~a3~a4~a5',
    'b1~b2~b3~b4~b5',
    'c1~c2~c3~c4~c5',
    'd1~d2~d3~d4~d5',
    'e1~e2~e3~e4~e5',
);

I want get the 3rd value in ‘~’ pattern then place that
to another array.

The other array should now look like this:

my @other_stack = (
    'a3',
    'b3',
    'c3',
    'd3',
    'e3',
);

I could go about looping through the stack array then split
and push to another array, but i’m looking for a lean way
to code this.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

my @other_stack = map {(split/~/)[2]} @raw_stack;
