Hello everyone, I'm stuck on the following and some help would be great! Thank you! So, I'm parsing a txt, here's some sample data: 
PERMIT NO:     12-1833                           VALUATION:     $20,42
+5.00
    PARCEL NO:                                       ISSUED DATE:   25
+-Jun-12
    LOCATION:      1416 SALMON RIVER RD

    OWNER:  1416 SALMON RIVER RD        CONTRACTOR:  HASCO HTG A/C SER
+VICE CO INC
            RIVERSIDE, CA                            3015 DURAHART ST
                                                     RIVERSIDE, CA
            951 276-3253
                                                     951 682-33366

and here's the code, parsing the line as 2 columns: 
if ($column_line !~ /:/) {
                $column_line = trim($column_line);
                $data{$permit_no}{$key} .= $column_line;
                next;
            }

On the last 2 labels, how do I concat the last lines to the proper key? because using this I know it will concat only to my last $key, in this case being Contractor.
