1: Open (INFILE, "report.txt" ;
2: While (<INFILE>) {
3: $line =~ /\"(.+?)\"/ ;
4: $YourTextBetweenTheQuotes = $1 ;
5: # Do whatever you want
6: }
7: Close (INFILE)
In English : the regular express on line 3 will grab the text between quotes
(expressed as \" ) with the expression .+?
The parens (around .+? ) means to capture the text and assign it to the
variable $1
Hopefully I've avoided giving one of those crypic answers that are useless
to most beginners (including myself)...
