Hi, if I understand your question correct, you want to extract information from each token.
So splitting the string into tokens first and then extracting any useful information
one by one might be a suitable approach for you?
use strict;
sub extract {
chomp(my $orig = shift);
foreach ( split(/,/, $orig) ) { # scan list of tokens
if ( / <\*\d+> ([^<]+) < (\d+) : (\d+) > /x ) {
# do something with extracted information
print "got $1/$2/$3 from '$orig'\n";
}
}
}
extract($_) while (<DATA>);
__DATA__
<*2>H<3:0>,<*2>I<3:0>,...,<*2>Z<2:0>
H<3:0>,<*2>I<3:0>,...,<*2>Z<2:0>
Prints:
got H/3/0 from '<*2>H<3:0>,<*2>I<3:0>,...,<*2>Z<2:0>'
got I/3/0 from '<*2>H<3:0>,<*2>I<3:0>,...,<*2>Z<2:0>'
got Z/2/0 from '<*2>H<3:0>,<*2>I<3:0>,...,<*2>Z<2:0>'
got I/3/0 from 'H<3:0>,<*2>I<3:0>,...,<*2>Z<2:0>'
got Z/2/0 from 'H<3:0>,<*2>I<3:0>,...,<*2>Z<2:0>'

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).
