in thread Ignore newlines within quotes while reading a line in a text file

I looked into that module but I am limited to using the basic Perl installation so I cannot use that module.

Then that is the real problem you should be resolving! You don't even need to be system administrator, you can install modules as a regular user.

    The reason I can't include any other modules is because the computer my script will be running on only includes the basic Perl modules and other the bosses don't want to install other modules. So I'm left with a headache.

    Is there a regex I could use to find newlines within quotes?
