Hi Phil, Thanks for the quick response.

I updated my code with your suggestions and it will now parse.

However, the data tree which is built isn't clear to me at all.

Is there a better way to store the parsed data so it is more meaningfule? 

$VAR1 = [
          bless( {
                   '__RULE__' => 'portDefinition',
                   'portLists' => bless( {
                                           '__RULE__' => 'portLists',
                                           'list(s?)' => [],
                                           '__STRING1__' => '\''
                                         }, 'portLists' ),
                   'QUOTED_STRING' => ' quoted_char=HASH(0x3a0c54)',
                   '__STRING1__' => 'dbSetCellPortTypes'
                 }, 'portDefinition' )
        ];
