( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Using Text::CSV would probably be better. However, this regex approach, while more verbose, is perhaps more maintainable. Needs 5.10+ Special Backtracking Control Verbs. (I've made a guess at the proper regex for a A423.23 thingy.)

>perl -wMstrict -le "my $s = 'The fox did it[ at 12.23 ] well, Cf. 23 A423.23. The ' . 'swallow was even better'; print qq{''$s''}; ;; my $parens = qr{ \[ [^]]* \] }xms; my $cf = qr{ (?i) cf \. }xms; my $ref = qr{ [[:alpha:]]+ \d+ (?: \. \d+)+ }xms; my $splitter = qr{ (?: $parens | $cf | $ref) (*SKIP)(*FAIL) | \. }xms; ;; my @ra = split $splitter, $s; print qq{'$_'} for @ra; " ''The fox did it[ at 12.23 ] well, Cf. 23 A423.23. The swallow was eve +n better'' 'The fox did it[ at 12.23 ] well, Cf. 23 A423.23' ' The swallow was even better'

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.
