You can also write a small program to do the job:
my $elementHash = { MSGTEXT1 => 'CDATA[Starting SITUATION1 <311446961, +2559575967> for K01.K01CSYSTE5', MSGTEXT2 => 'CDATA[Starting Enterprise situation S +ITUATION1 <311439572,1066403668> for K01.K01CSYSTE5.', }; foreach my $key ( keys %{ $elementHash } ) { my @tmp = parse_str( $elementHash->{$key} ); print Dumper( \@tmp ); } exit; sub parse_str { my $str = shift; my @items = split ' ', $str; my @tmp = split '\[', $items[0]; my $size = $#items; my $param2 = ( $size > 4 ) ? $items[3] : $items[1]; ( $tmp[1], $param2, $items[ $size ] ); }
Dumped data:
$VAR1 = [ 'Starting', 'SITUATION1', 'K01.K01CSYSTE5' ]; $VAR1 = [ 'Starting', 'SITUATION1', 'K01.K01CSYSTE5.' ];

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
