I need to generate an output file like this (deleting fields
between attribute and subject,
I would take the input line and split on comma into an array.
It looks like you want to keep the first 4 elements, and then shift
the element starting with subject over into the fifth slot. Am I
right?
I'd just call splice() in a loop to remove one element at a time
until 'subject' slides into the fifth element. Then you're done.
perldoc -f split
perldoc -f splice
I'd use the m// operator:
/(.+)attribute.+( subject.+)/s
