In my Powershell code I have named capture groups ... (I dont think Perl 5.8.5 supports them)

It's good to know the version of Perl you're using. Indeed, Perl 5.8 does not support named capture groups.

Give a man a fish: <%-{-{-{-<

Yes, right, but this also tells us that it might be good to upgrade to a newer version of Perl, if possible. Perl 5.8 is really old. But if this is not possible, no big deal, it is possible to live without named captures. Having said that, I would add that using `unpack` (as already suggested by poj) is probably better fit for such fixed-column formatted data than regex.	[reply] [d/l]
