Re^3: how to find what's not there with a regex?

Any other variations?

#! perl -slw
use strict;

while( <DATA> ) {
    m[(\w+)\s+=\s+'?(.+)'?] 
        and print "$1 : $2"
        for split /\s{2,}(?=\w+\s+=)/, $_;
}

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

The "good enough" maybe good enough for the now, and perfection maybe unobtainable, but that should not preclude us from striving for perfection, when time, circumstance or desire allow.

That's close enough. \w doesn't work, because the LHS might be a function spec as in foo(a,b), but you guys have helped me understand the options and alerted me to more. Thanks very much to all of you, and I will go study more now.	[reply]
