Re^2: Parsing semi-erratic text

Hrmm...perhaps an effect of my cutting and pasting? The body of my email gets read into a variable (so it's like slurping a file). I can't seem to split on newlines, and if I use a regex to count I get only one in each email (which I presume is at the end).

Thank you for the implicit character class ([^:]) suggestion, by the way. I hate putting .* into regexes, even with the non-greedy modifier.

_{s''limp';@p=split '!','n!h!p!';s,m,s,;$s=y;$c=slice @p1;so brutally;d;$n=reverse;$c=$s**$#p;print(''.$c^chop($n))while($c/=$#p)>=1;}

I agree. `.` and `.?` usually/often assume the data is formatted correctly.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
