Well, `use re 'debug';` and YAPE::Regex::Explain and try to figure out why :) My guess, trial and error involves a lot of error ZING :D Seriously, this (unspecified format, formatted) input is looking more and more like CSV where the separator is a semi-colon, THUS, I would use Text::CSV//Text::xSV and be finished (hopefully). PS, FWIW, I'm fatigued, no more posts from me :)	[reply] [d/l]

I don't see a dot followed by a backslash in that string.	[reply]
