This works but I have another question:
If there is another field, say
"Desc" with a value that is space delimited, how can I put the entire value into a variable.
Example:
[
ID: 456
Desc: This is a test job
Start: /complete/success.1 /complete/success.2 /tmp/file.3
Done: /complete/success.3 /complete/success.4
]
The code currently splits all by space so only the first word is in the value.
E.g.
my ($desc) = @{$record{'Desc:'}};
$desc will only contain the word "This " and not the full value of "This is a test job".
What is the best way to solve this?
Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
Please read these before you post! —
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
- a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
