Friend monks,

We have a certain internal language (a programming language, or more accurately a Hardware Description Language, like Verilog). There are full-fledged parsers for it (C + Lex + Yacc), but I have to do some simple preprocessing and wonder what is the easiest way to go...

Suppose I have some keyword, say "env", which is followed by a body within braces:

env 
{
...
...
}
[download]

I want to rip the contents out (from the braces) into some string. Needless to say that there may be other "bodies", delimited by braces nested inside to an arbitrary level, so regexes aren't much of a help (a regex assuming just one level of nesting already looks very scary).

Thus my question: what is the easiest way to handle it ? Use some Parser module from CPAN ? I don't need, and don't want to define the full grammar of this language - I just want what's inside the braces.

TIA

• 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).
