Hello Monks,


I have a Typical requirement which includes Extraction of patterns from below chunk of text. My text to be splitted into key:value pairs as below..


################################

firstName : firstValue

Name2: Value2

Name3:Value3 Name4:value4

Name5: Name6:

################################

The above chunk of data , i should read as a name value pairs preferably in Hash or array.

iam trying to write a match pattern as below.
while (){
     chomp($_);
     push(@splittedline,$+ ) while $_ =~m{
                   ([^\S\s*:\S\s*]*) }gx;
}  # Sorry iam poor in regular expressions
# i tried several regular expressions, above gives error
# and doesnt work properly
# finally @splitted line should contain key value pairs
# One might wonder what above is, my requirement is to
# read the TNG scheduler output containing Jobs info 
# and nicely format into text document
