I need to get 2 fields out of a file which has the following format:
#FIELD [tab]NAME=name to put into hash[newline] [tab]DATALINE=value to put with data[newline] [tab]EXTRA=several fields to ignore... [NEWLINE] #NEXTFIELD [tab]NAME ... I have thought of a couple ways I *could* do it, but I think they are the poorer of the many ways to do it. Any tips on how you'd elegantly separate the data would be appreciated.
