As yet I'm, not called on to parse any Mumps code. All I get from Mumps are binary journals, data much like transaction journals from other DataBase Systems. The GT.M implementation of Mumps comes with a 'mupip' program that (among other things) gives me a character-based dump of the Journals, basically a human-readable text file of newline-delimited records with '\' as the field separator. I wonder if other current implementations of Mumps include mupip (or journals at all, for that matter). I can use 'split' to make a list of each record, and I'm fortunate that the Global Variable is in the final field, because I've even found embedded '\' characters in some Global Variable subscripts, but I can ignore them via the 3rd (limit) parameter to split.

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).
