Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I am trying to parse this information in a more sane way, it seems that there should be a better way.
xxx, yyy, zzz are basically completely random.
What I am looking for is a way to grab the value of xxx without having to use multiple split's.
Thanks in advance.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my $var = "xxx:12345 yyy:54321 zzz:13245"; my @items = split("\:",$var); @items = split(" ",$items[1]); print "$items[0]\n";
xxx, yyy, zzz are basically completely random.
What I am looking for is a way to grab the value of xxx without having to use multiple split's.
Thanks in advance.
