Hi

Anybody have any ideas/suggestion how to read this files (sample files contents as below): 

(Filename: test.txt)
Name        : >Mick<    [Mick]
IC          : '91919191929'     [9191919129]
PC          : 123       [123]
Number      : >1960132400000<   [1960132400000]
Location    : >000e 0036<       [000e 0036]
extension   : ><
Capability  : >"CARES<          ["CARES]
Info        : >6005494c523142<  [6005494c523142]

Name        : >Nick<            [Nick]
IC          : '1235467000'      [1235467000]
PC          : 124               [124]
Number      : >1960192500000<   [1960192500000]
Location    : >000f 0034<       [000f 0034]
extension   : ><

My original option are:
0. read files content
1. delete all the items likes ('|"|<|>);
2. split by line (split(/\n/));
3. Get $1 and $2 and insert into asociated array;
Ex: $1 ==> Capability: $2 ==> 124
4. Then, If the Capability or Info = "" or null, then change it to TEST and print.
5. Print back all the items without ('|"|<|>) and ignore all items in [.......]. But, I can't.

Then, I've tried another method and the result still same. My second method are:
0. read files content
1. Change all the itesm (><|>\.<) to >TEST<
2. delete all the items likes ('|"|<|>);
3. split by line (split(/\n/));
4. Get $1 and $2 and insert into asociated array;
Ex: $1 ==> Capability: $2 ==> 124
5. Then, If the Capability or Info =~ /TEST/ then print.
6. Print back all the items without ('|"|<|>) and ignore all items in [.......].

Hopefully, somebody can help me....

Otherwise, My original script can be review in [id://272622[ or How to read/replace null value/parameters.

Thank you,
