[...]I'm writing a web-based client information system for a lawyer. His current client list is in a 137 page Word document with an embedded table. I can get it into a somewhat usable format by copying the entire table, pasting into Excel, and saving as tab delimeted text, but this has its problems.
This should print the contents of each field as it reads it, which it does seem to be doing. The only problem is that it seems to be printing "\n\n" after only 7 fields. Also, will that regex get everything I want it to? I need to capture everything between each set of '\r' including the first field which only has a trailing '\r'.
perhaps you want to a have look at the html exported from the word-doc. when the table is exported 'nice', you might want to start from there, since there are very powerfull html/xml parsers in perl.
