Re: split string using regex

I think an easy approach would just be to replace those spaces in the datetime stamps with another character, then parse the fields, then you can go back in and replace the spaces if needed. For example,

use Data::Dumper;

my $inp = 'AAA * BBB CCC * * "2000 01 00 00 00" "2004 01 00 00 00"';
$inp =~ s/(\d) (\d)/$1-$2/g;
my @fields = split /\s+/, $inp;
print Dumper(\@fields);

Which outputs

$VAR1 = [
          'AAA',
          '*',
          'BBB',
          'CCC',
          '*',
          '*',
          '"2000-01-00-00-00"',
          '"2004-01-00-00-00"'
        ];

However, this assumes that the other fields don't start/end with a number. I'm only going off your example above.

---
echo S 1 [ Y V U | perl -ane 'print reverse map { $_ = chr(ord($_)-1) } @F;'

Try this: `while( $line =~ /(\w+)=("[^"]+"\|\S+)/g ) { print "$1: $2\n"; }` [download] Warning: no guarantees if your string is not well-formed.	[reply] [d/l]
