Andrew Gaffney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrtoe: : : I managed to get Word to export it into a format where : the fields are separated by '\r'. Yeah, kinda weird. I : wrote the following: : : open FILE, $file; : my $counter = 0; : : while (<FILE>) { : while (/\r?([^\r]*)/sgc) { : $counter++; : if($counter == 10) { : print "\n\n"; : $counter = 1; : } : my $temp = $1; : $temp =~ s/\n/~~~/sg; : $temp =~ s/\"//g; : $temp =~ s/\'/\\'/g; : print " $temp "; : } : } : : This should print the contents of each field as it : reads it, which it does seem to be doing. The only : problem is that it seems to be printing "\n\n" : after only 7 fields. Also, will that regex get : everything I want it to? I need to capture : everything between each set of '\r' including the : first field which only has a trailing '\r'.
