Hello Everyone, I have finally hit my max times of banging my head on the best way to parse some data I have like the following below:
name = "Programming Perl" distributor = "O'Reilly" pages = 1077 edition = "2nd" Authors = "Larry Wall Tom Christiansen Jon Orwant" The last line is giving me some trouble it has three newline seprators which stops me from being able to use a split function like the following: my ( $name, $distributor, $pages, $edition, $Authors ) = split( "\n", $stanzas); When I print them out I get the following: name = "Programming Perl" distributor = "O'Reilly" pages = 1077 edition = "2nd" Authors = "Larry Wall So my last to authors are left out. I have even tried a split like the following: split( "(\"\$\n|\n", $stanzas); This still did work as I though it would it seems I am just missing one little thing. What I was hoping for is where on the net or in a book that I would need to read to get this to work. I assume I will need to use a regex in the split command I am hoping for a little guidance in the right direction of where I need to go.
