I never seem to give enough information when I post.. sorry about that.

The test string, if I ever got it to seperat correctly, was going to seperat the dollar amount and assigne it to an array and then have the money value added for a total.

$test="This is a test $6.56 $5.7";
print split(/\$/, $test);

which resulted the

This is a test .56 .7

This was a simple design to see why my split did not work correctly.

With your snipit all came together:

open(FILE, "<", "stamp_list");
my @stampItem;
my @stampPrice;
while(<FILE>) {
chomp;
my ($stampItem, $stampPrice)=split(/\$/);
push @stampItem, $stampItem;
push @stampPrice, $stampPrice;
}

print("\n\n\t\tCurrent Stamp Values\n\n");

$arrayLength=@stampItem;

for($i=0; $i<$arrayLength; $i++) {
print("$stampItem[$i] \$$stampPrice[$i]\n");
}

for($i=0; $i<$arrayLength; $i++) {
$totalValue += $stampPrice[$i];
}

print("\n\nTotal value of stamps is: \$$totalValue\n\n");

stamp_list
stamp name 1 $3.50
stamp name 2 $5.25
...

again I don't understand why my simple test failed and only showed the change and not the full dollar amount.

go-test

GO-TEST(1)						      General Commands Manual							GO-TEST(1)

NAME

       go - tool for managing Go source code

SYNOPSIS

       go test [-c] [-i] [ build flags ] [ packages ] [ flags for test binary ]

DESCRIPTION

       "Go test" automates testing the packages named by the import paths.  It prints a summary of the test results in the format:

	     ok   archive/tar	0.011s
	     FAIL archive/zip	0.022s
	     ok   compress/gzip 0.033s
	     ...

       followed by detailed output for each failed package.

       "Go  test"  recompiles each package along with any files with names matching the file pattern "*_test.go".  These additional files can con-
       tain test functions, benchmark functions, and example functions.  See go-testfunc(7) for more.

       By default, go test needs no arguments.	It compiles and tests the package with source in the current directory, including tests, and  runs
       the tests.

       The package is built in a temporary directory so it does not interfere with the non-test installation.

OPTIONS

       In addition to the build flags, the flags handled by 'go test' itself are:

       -c     Compile the test binary to pkg.test but do not run it.

       -i     Install packages that are dependencies of the test.  Do not run the test.

       The  test  binary  also accepts flags that control execution of the test; these flags are also accessible by 'go test'.	See go-testflag(7)
       for details.

       For more about build flags, see go-build(1).

       For more about specifying packages, see go-packages(7).
