Re^2: Conditional continued matching with regexes

Wouldn't a Parser::RecDescent solution suffer exactly the same problems?

Wouldn't you either have to load the entire file and parse it as a single lump; or parse it line by line until the parser failed, append the next line to the failed line and then re-attempt from the beginning?

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

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Yup. But doing all the logic in a regexp feels less comfortable to me. I'm just more versed in parser/lexer's for logic that is more complex. The entire putting perl code within regexp's is fine, just not my way. After all, bart asked me what would I do. :)	[reply]
