Mina has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: ⭐ (strings)
My record is something like this:
News, Product Information, Shopping information, Reference Materials (i.e. dictionaries), Research Materials (i.e. journals, databases), Educational, Hobby / Special Interest (i.e. genealogy, cooking), Financial Material I'd like to split it by fields, but the commas in the parentheses are a problem. My initial thought was to use split /,\ [A-Z]/; but would eat away the first letters of the fields. Better ideas? (maybe the reg exp needs to be craftier, I don't know my brain has turned into jello). ~mina Originally posted as a Categorized Question.
