Interesting, I'm working on a similar thing.
I've found it useful to use the $1, $2, etc variables. So try something
like:
if( $line =~ /\"([\w\s]*)\"/ )
{
$array[i] = $1;
}
I'm not sure if all that (like the escaped ") is necessary; I'm just
starting myself.

Hi,
I'm in the midst of writing my first useful perl script. It's designed to
pull text out of a plain text file and write a xml plist.
The only trouble I'm having (so far) is getting the text out the way I want
it.
The file I'm pulling data out of is formatted like this:
010 "red"
011 "diamo
Can anyone tell me where to find out what the x does when used at the end
of a pattern match? (i.e. $tag =~ /abc/x) Everywhere I've looked gives
me the helpful information that it means "Use extended regular
expressions," but I've yet to find a definition of what that *means*.
Thanks...

I takes the keys from the %hash and uses them to compare the the
data within the hash and since it is $b vs $a and not $a vs $b it is in
descending vs ascending sequence. For each key in %hash it then gets
assigned to key and you now have the key and data sored by value of the hash
and not

For the above %hash, I want to sort them by "values"(rather than keys) and

The output needs to look like the below:

It can probebly be done. I did something of this sort on my freebsd box. It
would probebly be more difficult, since perl probebly install's its dll's in

...exactly. I used opendir because I find that sometimes flags fail on

It should work, assuming you're not doing anything funky with installed
packages.
You might also look into Perl2Exe (http://www.indigostar.com/perl2exe.htm)

packages) into a single executable to be used for the purpose you describ

Folks.
I have an 'error' question about lexical scoping.
This is a followup to the Mark Goland's reply to help someone. I
have a question about an error I'm not familiar with using his
{opendir local} statement. After I run the below on my NT box, AS
build 622, I get:

Both use and require will do the job. The @INC array by default includes the
current directory, '.', as its last entry, so you can split your program
into Perl modules in the same directory. 'use' is more appropriate as it
happens at compile time (whereas 'require' pulls the file in at run time).

Hi Anand,
Look at your logic:

This says that as long as there is good input, keep cyckling until you get bad input.
You should either use while here, or change the condition to refle
Actually what I meant was, does the regex itself work.
If the regex structure is bad then using it in vars won't work either.
Always a good principle of programming :
If you can't do it dynamically make sure it works static.

Do I have to use modules to break apart the code ? Is there anyway to just
