Re^2: HOP::Lexer not doing what I expected

But your order is wrong:

['DQUOTED','"tough_one"'],

shouldn't be a DQUOTED but a DQWORD - your code won't ever match a DQWORD, which I think was the original goal.

Yes but at least he got QUOTED to match, which is something I couldn't do. I just can't make sense of the ordering rules.	[reply]

This gives the output you wanted: `[ DQWORD => qr/"\w+"/ ], [ DQUOTED => qr/"[^"]+"/ ], [ QUOTED => qr/'[^']*'/ ], [ WORD => qr/\w+/i ], [ COMMA => qr/,/ ], [ SPACE => qr/\s+/, sub {} ],` [download] Note that we need to place `DQWORD` before `DQUOTED` since the first is a subset of the second (everything first matches second will match). `QUOTED` can be before or after the double quoted rules. Still don't understand why `WORD` can't be the first one, though.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
