When you are handling text, I would recommend that you use regular expressions instead of commands like slice. Slice will be more appropriate when working with arrays

Below is the code using regex for what you requested.

#Assuming that you pass the file name as a parameter when executing th +e script. my %table; open (F1, "<$ARGV[0]") || die ("Can't open the file $ARGV[0]. $!\n"); while(<F1>) { chomp; if($_ =~ /([^:]+): ([^\n]+)/) { $table{$1} = $2; } } close F1; #printing the table. for (keys %table) { print "$_\t$table{$_}\n"; }

Using regex, I am picking two parts of the string. The first part of the string until a colon is encountered and the second part after the colon followed by a word space until a carriage return is encountered.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
