I am not sure what all you want to keep, but your regex
seems a little extreme for the example you show.
Here is how I
would solve it. I give it a little bit of formatting
that I hope doesn't confuse the issue.
while (<DATA>) {
# the regex remembers for one or more
# alphanumeric characters \w+
# followed by an equal sign and double quote
# then remembers one or more digit or comma [\d\,]+
# follwed by a double quote.
if (/(\w+)\=\"([\d\,]+)\"/) {
# The print statement adds an equal amount
# of padding between the first entry and the
# second by subtracting the length of $1 by
# twenty and then adding that many spaces
# to the output.
# replace ', " " x (20 - length $1)'
# with ', "\t"' if you want a tab instead
print ucfirst($1) , " " x (20 - length $1) , $2 , "\n";
}
}
