Hello list, I am having some trouble coming up with a solution for what I am trying to accomplish.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. A sample of the data I would like to parse is below: I am trying to build a table like structure where the string to the left of the "=" sign is the header and the value to the right of the "=" is the data value. I want to make sure to account for null value (no value to the right of the "=") Each new group begins with >csno and ends with a new line. I am thinking that I am going to need to create a hash and possibly incorporated regex, but I am not real sure how to begin this task. I am trying to obtain the following format with the input data: *** desired output *** csno rfpi vrp0 vrp1 trl line low high 1 1 3423000 3423000 1700000 5 1 2 3423000 3423000 1700000 5 1 3 3423000 3423000 1700000 5 *** input *** >csno=1 rfpi=1 vrp0=3423000 vrp1=3423000 trl=1700000 line= low= high=5 >csno=1 rfpi=2 vrp0=3423000 vrp1=3423000 trl=1700000 line= low= high=5 >csno=1 rfpi=3 vrp0=3423000 vrp1=3423000 trl=1700000 line= low= high=5 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
