Now I'm confused, I thought a substr would be faster than a regex in this
case as the data is formatted.
Would it?
-
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
while ( ) {
my $user = substr($_, 0,8);
my $date = substr($_, 9,32);
my $state = subst

Which works with or without leading or trailing spaces. It also tidies up the
regex and doesn't hand you a user name padded to 7 characters with spaces (which
yours would, if it worked).

What is separating these attributes? A constant number of spaces, or a tab?
If so, it might be easier to use the "split" function.

I posted a similar question last week; this is a rephrasing.
I have the following strings:
rootWed Aug 22 04:44:59 2001 DLs
rootWed Aug 22 04:44:59 2001 ILs
rootWed Aug 22 04:44:59 2001 DL
rootWed Aug 22 04:44:59 2001 DL
rootWed Aug 22 04:44:59 2001 D
