Re^2: Simple RegEX text parser

you might want to consider building the regex out of the pieces you're looking for

grinder's most excellent Regexp::Assemble can certainly help with this sort of thing, identifying bits common to multiple words. Take a look at Why machine-generated solutions will never cease to amaze me for a sample of what this module can do; you'll be impressed.

Regexp::Assemble is to join regexps. Regexp::List is to join strings into a regexp. They're in the same distribution.	[reply]

And there is the old Regex::PreSuf for the same purpose.	[reply]

As noted by ikegami, Regexp::Assemble is slightly off the mark... but ++ nevertheless! Thank you for introducing me to a very fun, very useful module. The "Why machine-generated solutions will never cease to amaze me" link is also great. Much appreciated! -- "Language shapes the way we think, and determines what we can think about." -- B. L.
