Yes, Text::Balanced will work (and it is a core module since 5.7.3).

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env perl use strict; use warnings; use Text::Balanced qw/ extract_multiple extract_quotelike /; my @data = ( q{50 0 "R0 G255 B0 A255" "Solid" 118 1 "R0 G0 B0 A255" "R0 G0 B0 A255" + 0}, q{70 0 "R0 G255 B255 A255" "Solid" 118 1 "R12 G12 B12 A255" "R12 G12 B +12 A255" 0}, ); my @extracted; foreach my $str (@data) { @extracted = extract_multiple( $str, [ \&extract_quotelike, ], ); print q{Input: }, $str, qq{\n}; print q{Output: }, qq{\n}; print qq{\t}; print join qq{\n\t}, grep { !(m/^\s*$/) and length $_ > 0 } @extracted; print qq{\n}; }

Output:

Input: 50 0 "R0 G255 B0 A255" "Solid" 118 1 "R0 G0 B0 A255" "R0 G0 B0 + A255" 0 Output: 50 0 "R0 G255 B0 A255" "Solid" 118 1 "R0 G0 B0 A255" "R0 G0 B0 A255" 0 Input: 70 0 "R0 G255 B255 A255" "Solid" 118 1 "R12 G12 B12 A255" "R12 + G12 B12 A255" 0 Output: 70 0 "R0 G255 B255 A255" "Solid" 118 1 "R12 G12 B12 A255" "R12 G12 B12 A255" 0

Hope that helps.

    First of all that's great. Thanks! Those old modules often have uncommon documentation.

    Just wanna note that this is answering a third interpretation of the question.

    • for you '50 0' is one field
    • for hippo unquoted fields are ignored
    • for me '50' and '0' are two fields
    Probably Text::Balanced can handle all of those?

      Simple enough-the extract_multiple() function can apply multiple functions or regular expressions to do so. Changing the extract_multiple() line to the following:
      @extracted = extract_multiple( $str, [ \&extract_quotelike, qr/\s+/, ], );
      results in the following output:

      Input: 50 0 "R0 G255 B0 A255" "Solid" 118 1 "R0 G0 B0 A255" "R0 G0 B0 + A255" 0 Output: 50 0 "R0 G255 B0 A255" "Solid" 118 1 "R0 G0 B0 A255" "R0 G0 B0 A255" 0 Input: 70 0 "R0 G255 B255 A255" "Solid" 118 1 "R12 G12 B12 A255" "R12 + G12 B12 A255" 0 Output: 70 0 "R0 G255 B255 A255" "Solid" 118 1 "R12 G12 B12 A255" "R12 G12 B12 A255" 0

      (My original code was just extracting based on the quotation marks as delimiters.)

      Hope that helps.
