Hi Monks,
I need to parse a string that looks something like this:
$data="key=value key=value value key=value value value key=value key=v
+alue key=value value";
as you can see some values are multiple values seperated by spaces.. Not sure of a good way to build a hash from this... I am able to parse out the values with this bit of code
my @values=split(/\S+=/,$data);, but I can't figure out a good way to get the keys because of the varrying format of the values with spaces.. Any Ideas?

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).
