Re^2: recursive split

Thanks for your reply. Actually, I need those passes to look like the way as shown above so that I can do some processing to the content within the parenthesis if required at each recursive step. I tried shellwords but that also does not work here.

Sounds like you want a queue of things to do next then. List of things to process in the next iteration = startstring While there are things to process in the next iteration things to process this iteration = things to process next iteration. Things to process next iteration = () while things to process this iteration shift list of things to do this iteration, and split that thing ponder the split thing and print any revelations. add to the list of things to process next iteration if appropriate You probably don't want to do recursion if you want to print everything from one level before moving on to the next.

While there are things to process in the next iteration

things to process this iteration = things to process next iteration. Things to process next iteration = ()
while things to process this iteration

shift list of things to do this iteration, and split that thing
ponder the split thing and print any revelations.
add to the list of things to process next iteration if appropriate
