It's late so maybe I'm missing something, but here's one way: #throw away the header and keep everything after "application/octet-stream" my($junk,$data2) = split(/application\/octet-stream/,$data); #split the rest up by commas and put it into an array my @records = split(/,/,$data2);
Then it's all in a neat little array. This is, of course, assuming that you don't have any data in your file that has a comma in it... -----Original Message----- From: Clinton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2003 10:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: parsing uploaded csv file from HTTP Hi I'm trying to parse an uploaded csv file. From the HTTP info I have a string that looks like this Content-Disposition: form-data; name="afile"; filename="C:\myfolder\mytest.csv" Content-Type: application/octet-stream 12345678,John Doe 79696676,Superman 215154552,Wilfred DeSilva 216215,Bart Simpson -----------------------------7d336333d1034e-- with some difficulty I've managed to jury-rig a regex $data =~ m/(.*[:]\\.*\s.*\s\W+)([\w+\,\w+\s\w+\r\n]+)(-+\w+-{2}\s$)/g; which gives me 12345678,John Doe 79696676,Superman 215154552,Wilfred DeSilva 216215,Bart Simpson Unfortunately if the CSV file has punctuation (Wilfred De'Silva) everything falls in a heap. How can I pull out the data without relying on $2 ([\w+\,\w+\s\w+\r\n]+) which seems to be the bit that grabs the CSV values Running ASP on WinNT box with PerlScript Help appreciated Clinton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
