Hmmmm
so i have found one thing which is strange, when i run the code
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
my @tags = qw( 8= 9= 35= );
my $reg_ex = join( '|', @tags );
open(FH, "test.log")||die("Unable to open log file: $! \n");
while(<FH>) {
  print "$_\n" if ( $_ =~ /$reg_ex/s );
}

and test.log being the above, i found that the that entry is one line, so the output i get it
$ perl t.pl

What i really want to do is be able to pull out each of the tage, so break up the line and say look for 35= and give me whatever is after that, and then carry on and say find 109= and and give me everything after that. The problem i see is that there is no break between them.
so 8=FIX.4.29=040435=8 should read
8=FIX.4.2
9=0404
35=8
