Hi Monks!! I have this code: 
foreach $line (@DataFromBatchFile)
   {
      chomp($line);
      print "B |$line|\n";
      #$HASHDATAFROMBATCHFILE{$counter};
      if ($line =~ m/-(.*) ["]*([\)\(A-Za-z0-9,\.\*]*)\s*["]*\s*/)
      {
         print "$counter $1 $2\n";
         $HASHDATAFROMBATCHFILE{$counter}{$1} = $2;
      }
      if ($line =~ m/\bEND\b/)
      {
         $counter ++;
      }
   }

For some reason, it doesn't work always. For example my output: 
B |   -libs "source*.lib" |
1 libs "source*.lib" 
B |   -1dlu |
1 1dlu 
B |   -2dlu |
1 2dlu 
B |   -3dlu "(1,1,3)"|
1 3dlu (1,1,3)
B |   -filter  ASDF|
1 filter  ASDF
B |END|

what's wrong with the quotes extraction since i don't want them there.
