I have a set of strings returned from a function depicting Active Directory user accounts. The string is in the form of:

Win32_Account.Domain="ADDomain",Name="aduser1"
Win32_Account.Domain="ADDomain",Name="aduser2"
Win32_Account.Domain="ADDomain",Name="aduser3"
Win32_Account.Domain="ADDomain",Name="aduser4"
[download]

I would like to change the format to read:

ADDomain\aduser1
ADDomain\aduser2
ADDomain\aduser3
ADDomain\aduser4
[download]

So they can easily be understood on a report. I am currently using the following code to perform this task.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;

my $string = q/ Win32_Account.Domain="ADDomain",Name="aduser1"/;
my ( $domain, $uname ) = split( ",", $string );

$domain =~ s/\"//ig; 
$domain =~ s/Win32_Account.Domain=//ig; 
$uname  =~ s/\"//ig;
$uname  =~ s/Name=//ig;

#concat the parts or replace with Account Deleted if SID not found
my $user = ( $uname eq "" ? "Account Deleted" : $domain . "\\" . $unam
+e );
print $user;

Although the code works, is there a more efficient way to do the work. Any advice would be welcomed.

Thank you,
Greg W.

Update:

• Changed the output, Thanks Roy Johnson.
• Replaced #/ with #!/, Thanks ikegami

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
