Re^2: split on spaces, except those within quotes?

This looks way cool. However, it is not coming through in the web browser as something usable. It has odd characters, A with symbols over top in several places, and what looks like a currency symbol in a couple of places. Does anybody have access to the original correct formula?

I believe that line is supposed to be `s/(('\|").?\2)/ ($Ł = $1) =~ s!\s+!\cA!g; $Ł /ge;`. AFAICT, the nonstandard `$Ł` is just supposed to be a scratch variable, so you can replace it with e.g. `$a` (assuming there's no sort in the call stack) or a lexical of your choosing. However,* note BrowserUk's words: "I probably deserve hate mail for this one but..." - see e.g. Regexp::Common::delimited or Text::Balanced.	[reply] [d/l]
