I am in the process of trying to parse data out of a text file. I have an irregular expression that takes the person's name and puts it in this format J. Arcain. However, if the person's name is like the third entry below, my code does not parse the name. Below is a piece of what the file looks like.

24|Janeth Arcain|6|6|217|36.2|51|106|.481|
321|Elen Chakirova|5|0|27|5.4|2|4|.500|
380|Kelley Gibson-White|6|0|85|14.2|3|17|.176|8|8|1.000|

This is the expression I am using to parse out the name.

~ s/^([A-Z])\w*( \w+)$/$1.$2/g

If anyone knows how I can parse the name out in this format K. Gibson-White, I would greatly appreciate it.

• 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).
