I'm going to need more to go on than this. Can you provide (several) richer examples? It's not clear from this little snippet what's even the terminator you were describing before. You started with ":" terminators, now we're looking at matched pairs of brackets. How does one relate to the other?
When you say the second element is "the rest of the line", what exactly do you mean by that? Do you want: <f1>AAA</f1> <f2>["bbb"["ccc"]]</f2><!-- literally all characters after the AAA as just a string --> Or something where the fields inside f2 are also parsed based on the brackets? <f1>AAA</f1> <f2> <f3>bbb</f3> <f4>ccc</f4> </f2> On Thu, Nov 14, 2024 at 9:28 AM Mark Kozak <mark.ko...@adeptus-cs.com> wrote: > Here is an example of the type of data I need to parse. > > > > AAA["bbb”["ccc”]] > > > > The file has exactly one line with no terminator.
