( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
After playing with this for a few hours, I can see what a headache this is for you. : |

I did come up with a solution that isn't regex oriented, but I think it will work for all cases. It could probably be tightened a bit, although the regex way may be better in the end.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my $temp=''; my $flag=0; print "Name\t\tPrependition\t\tWhatever\n"; while (<DATA>) { chomp; my @line = split('\s+',$_); for my $i(0..$#line){ if ((length($line[$i])<4)&& ($line[$i] =~ m/[A-Z][A-Z]+/o)){ $temp .= $line[$i]; $line[$i] = '*' if +$flag; $line[$i] = '' if ! +$flag; $flag = 1; $temp .= ' '; } } $flag = 0; for my $i(0..$#line){ print "$temp\t" if $line[$i] eq ''; print "$line[$i]\t" unless $line[$i] eq '*';; } print "\n"; $temp = ''; } __DATA__ WINTER DE <A240> ZANDEN VAN DER ŤAť JENSEN 230 WOODHEAD <D> BRINK 130,- HEYDIER DEN <240> SMITSER (4X115PJ) LINDEN VAN DER MOTEL GOLDEN LEEUW <A225>

Hope that helps!

Some people fall from grace. I prefer a running start...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
