( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
my $contents = do { local $/; <DATA> }; while ($contents =~ / \s* ([^=\s]+) \s* = \s* ( (?: (?! \s* (?: [^=\s]+ \s* = | $ ) ) . )* ) /xmsg ) { print("[$1 => $2]\n"); } __DATA__ name1=value1 name2 = value2 name3 = value3 but wait, there is more name4= value4

Ouputs

[name1 => value1] [name2 => value2] [name3 => value3] [name4 => value4]

Update: The above works by never allowing bad data in the value. The following is an alternate solution that works by starting with an empty value, and extending it as much as possible.

my $contents = do { local $/; <DATA> }; while ($contents =~ / \s* ([^=\s]+) \s* = \s* (.*?) # Extend the value. (?= \s* (?: [^=\s]+ \s* = | $ ) ) /xmsg ) { print("[$1 => $2]\n"); }

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
