Re: formatting text for parsing

For reference you might find Games::Rezrov/Games::Rezrov enlightening, it's (<retracted>London.pm's</retracted>) <insert>a parser for</insert> Infocom package.

As for the storage my hunch would be CSV(either Text::CSV or DBD::CSV) or XML (XML::Simple). Though implying and not having said create by hand ;-) I'll also toss out Storable/FreezeThaw.

-- perl -pe "s/\b;([st])/'\1/mg"

Firstly, I don't think that Games::Rezrov is London.pm's ;-} Not that we haven't collectively written some pretty mad stuff over the years ;-} Secondly the module reads yer actual Infocom Z-Code so you can play all of your favourite games from the past like Hitch-hikers guide to the galaxy on so forth. /J\	[reply]

Doh! I think it's somebody's though, Belfast.pm? As for reading yes, that would be why I said "for reference purposes", and said "As for storage" in the second paragraph ;-D. UPDATE: Helas my Bureaucracy and Hitchiker's Guide for Apple II wetn the way of curbside checkout long ago :-(. I was never able to get past the bulldozer. `-- perl -pe "s/\b;([st])/'\1/mg"`	[reply]
