Use of Uninitialised Value In Split 1

[sdslrn123]

Hi again. For those who know me you'll be gald to know I solved the other problem....
But, now I have a new one.

However, although the program works this line is giving me errors:

@host = split(';',$guests[0]);

"Use of uninitialised value in split"

What is wrong? I have declared my @host and @guests as well as trying $guests alongside.

Thanks for looking

What is the value of $guests[0]?

@guests = split (/1/, $file);

Splits $file into two parts as 1 is the only number in a sequence of letters e.g
A B C D E F G 1 H I J K L
therefore $guests[0] = ABCEDEFG

Hope this helps

and if you print out $guests[0] does it contain what you expect?

I am not inscrutable.

Yep, Prnts exactly what I want.
It's a bit of a puzzler?

If you are looping through an array or a file maybe there is a line without the 1 in it or a blank line.
