in reply to Trying to parse columns with different delimiters.

Yes, thanks :)

Suggestions: try to split the problem. You don't want to parse a string with different delimiter; what you do want is to split the string into chunks using a first pattern and then split with another pattern. Try this and tell us what you can get.

Another suggestion, read Perl Monks Approved HTML tags and please avoid <pre> tags in your future posts (it'ld be kind of you editing your original post, too) substituting <pre> with <code>

Careful with that hash Eugene.
