Re: Parsing multiple lines into a single line

Can you describe what other words might occur, and how you determine what to do with them? The basic idea is clear: join lines on \, replace whitespace and {} between fields with :. But why is Team 1 discarded but vin(Y) kept? Why ---> before points but not index1 and index2? What exactly determines where a field name starts and ends?

After getting the specs per Ysth, do something like below `{ local $/ ; while (<DATA>) { /^name$([^)]+)$.+\{.+(\w{4}).+(\d).+/sg; print "$3:$2:$1\n"; } } __DATA__ name(DAWSON) { Team 1` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Hi, When ever `"Weight: 12.00"` occurs in the data, that entire block is discarded. Hence, we discard `Team 1 { Weight: 12.00; }` [download] Sorry for not being clear earlier. Appreciate your help. --Jessica	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hi Ysth, Whenever we have `Weight: 12.00;` I need to discard the block in which `Weight: 12:00;` is present. Hence `Team 1 { Weight: 12.00; }` [download] is discarded. The `--->` always points right before `points` in the data. --Jessica	[reply] [d/l] [select]
