in thread Multiple line records from a command string

You're obviously welcome to your view, but I cannot see the purpose in making it so complicated (20+ lines instead of 7).

Or so needlessly inefficient. Calling the regex engine 8 times (twice each for every thing you want to match), rather than once.

And there is absolutely no reason to initialise my vars to undef.
