Can someone please help me parse text like the lines below? I could use a few splits but it would be messy. I know there is a way to parse the entire line in one command using regex and $1, $2 etc. I would like to get the generic name, dosage which might be an int or an int with text attached to it. The tablet, capsule, injection, and the instructions at the end. I know it's simple but I have not done much perl since 2006. Thanks. Input:
