I have a string formatted like this:
my $mystring = 'var1=123::var2=abc456::var3=10.99::var4=def';
What I need to do is to be able to extract name=value. I cannot be sure
where in the list a any value will occur so to extract a value for 'var2'
from the above example would require matching either:
'::var2=abc456::'
or
'var2=abc456::'
or
'::var2=abc456'
Can anyone suggest a regex to do this?
my %NamesToValues = $mystring =~ /([^\:=]+)=([^\:]*)/g
