in reply to Parsing a file with multiple delimeters

It appears like that's a pipe delimited file with three columns, one of which happens to be internally delimited by commas. Use Text::CSV_XS.

use Text::CSV_XS; my $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new( sep_char => '|' ); while ( <> ) { $csv->parse( $_ ); my ( $file, $file_list, $yes_no ) = $csv->fields; print "$_ $yes_no\n" for $file, split /,/, $file_list; }
