works for the dataset provided, and i think for seavers extension.my @records = (<DATA>); # lookbehind to make sure those that start # with an apostrophe end with one... $tok1 = qr/[\'][A-Za-z0-9\s\']+(?<=\')/; $tok2 = qr/[A-Z\?0-9]+; # for each record in the above sample... # note precedence in regex below... foreach my $record (@records){ my @fields = ($record =~ /$tok1|$tok2/g); # do something with fields } __DATA__ #...those irritating records in full...
