saif format parsing

nick_2012 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Perl Monks, I have an input file of the format: instance A { net1 net2 instance B { net3 net4 instance C { net5 net5 } instance D { net7 net8 } } instance E { net9 net10 } } can you propose a perl script which can parse this and produce an output which looks like: net1 net2 B/net3 B/net4 B/C/net5 B/C/net6 B/D/net7 B/D/net8 E/net9 E/net10 I cant seem to figure an easy way of going up and down the hierarchy in the instance file and printing the same to each of the nets in the file...

I have been able to figure out a solution using a stack to this problem. I push onto the stack whenever "instance(" and pop from it whenever ")". This way I can keep a tab on level of instance name in an array based on push operations. thanks offering to help.	[reply]
